That was it - thanks! In my case, the ivtv module was being built/installed, so I just got rid of the kernel cx25840 module and all was well. I'm using KnoppMyth, and the how-to on their wiki for updating the ivtv driver mentions getting rid of some of the kernel ivtv modules when you compile a new version to avoid conflicts, but it didn't mention the cx25840 module. I'll try to update the wiki. -Jim -- James West [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
