It might be a long shot, but I think it helped mine with slow menu response. I read an unrelated post far across the internet. about having too quick a repeat (or none at all) in the lircrc file bogs down the system trying to interpret all those repeating signals off the remote. I changed all my non repeating buttons (power, etc) to "repeat=10" and all my repeating buttons (volume) to about 4. I am still tweaking them but this seems to make my system much more responsive.
Mythbackend at 80% hmm. That sounds high but mine is a celeron 700. The total cpu time taken without dma for ivtv-enc, ivtv-dec, backend and frontend is around 30%-40%. Of course back then a couple of numbers difference really didn't matter. Really what is the real diffference between a 3.0Gz cpu and a 3.2 Gz? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maverick Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2005 4:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ivtv-devel] Lockup / System freeze w/ new PVR-350 Thought this might be helpful if anyone else runs into this problem. See: http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=1#q33 I tried the noapic, that did nothing. I also tried a PCI ata controller (SIIG Ultraata 133), which (sorta) resolved the random deadlock dma stuff. The system is no longer "unstable" while watching TV or playing recorded shows, but the program guide doesn't work at all, well, it works, but while loading and moving around, the system gets REALLY slow and unwatchable. Obviously the framebuffer overlay portion of ivtv requires/causes tons of bus traffic... Now that the hard drive controller is on the same bus as the PVR-350...well, you can imagine what it does to the bus. Anyway... I guess I'm going to upgrade the mobo/cpu/ram/etc. Thanks for everyone's help, -Kenneth ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
