What's really weird: This is a generic part of FC5. I'm running FC5 and
ivtv-0.7.0 and a different kernel, although perhaps the same - you
didn't specify (I'm currently running 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp). And I'm
not having any problem like this.
It makes me wonder: What's "different" between our systems (FC5 and
FC5), where you'd have this problem with 0.7.0 and I wouldn't?
