I might have a similar problem. I have a 150, and sometimes it is autodetected as a 250. Also, sometimes the picture quality is good even though it is seen as a 250, and sometimes picture quality is bad even when seen as a 150. Usually I can get good picture by removing and reloading the modules.

Might that be a PAL vs. NTSC issue? Xvinfo shows the PAL-Resolution as max. xv size while ivtv-fb et al are correct about their NTSC assumptions. Just thinking. Martin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Kohlsmith Sent:

Haven't checked /proc/bus/pci/01, but will do that when I get the time. However, one difference I have seen in /var/log/messages between good picture and bad picture is that when bad kernel: ivtv: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) is displayed in /var/log/messages.
