John

Are there any particular dependencies from this code to versions of the ivtv
driver or your ivtvdev X driver. I am using rc3f but my ivtvdev driver may
be a little older.

I am afraid I did not have much success with the latest patch. I did not get
as far as checking whether the hang had improved, because the EPG display
was broken. The start up of the EPG was very jerky and took a while, when it
stabilised a portion of it was missing (the bottom half of the detailed info
of the current selected program) by paging up and down a few times I was
able to get it all painted. However when I exited the black screen was still
there :-(

Thanks for all the effort you are putting in.

It does not go unnoticed!

I notice that the XFree86 log has the following errors in it.

(EE) IVTVDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument
(EE) IVTVDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument

I don't know of they are relevant. They are also present with the current
CVS build of myth.
