John...

First off, thanks for you, Chris, and all the other's
hard work.

I have tried this version of ivtvdev, along with
0.3.6h of ivtv.  When I use xv to play videos with
mythtv, the picture flashes quickly and I get a
split-screen effect.  In mythtv, there are two copies
of the video, one on the left half of hte screen and
one on the right (flashing quickly).  It also looks
like half the scan lines are black.

When I play a ripped DVD through xine, I get a similar
effect, but different.  The first time I played it,
the horizontal sync was a half-screen out of sync.
(the picture started in the center and spread to the
other side).  Also, it had the flashing, and the
colors are all goofy.  Then I tried to play a video
again, using the same syettings, and the horizontal
sync is in the correct phase.  But the flashing
remains, and the colors are off (largely blue
artifacts and such).  It also looks like it's missing
half the scan lines (the second interlacing scan is
missing or something).

Gzipped files containing /var/log/message entries and
Xorg.1.log are attached.  (Earlier version of this
email was too big).

Thanks for any help!

PS: I had tried once with the 0.10.1 ivtvdev driver,
and I got overall good results on the xv output.  ivtv
was crashing on me so I reverted to an older ivtv at
the time.
