john, using bleeding-edge isn't helping me, still having trouble if use the 'ondemand' kernel cpufreq governor. scram69, do you know what method of cpufreq Ubuntu uses? is it the 'ondemand' kernel driver or a userspace app? the 'decoder firmware dead!' line looks suspicious, but it does seem to manage to load it. and live TV still works fine... ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.2.0 ivtv0: Initializing card #0 ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23415 based) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 saa7115 0-0021: saa7115 found (1f7115d0e100000) @ 0x42 (ivtv i2c driver #0) msp3400 0-0040: MSP3435G-B6 found @ 0x80 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) ivtv0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPG (4096 kB) ivtv0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (2048 kB) ivtv0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (1024 kB) ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM (320 kB) ivtv0: Registered device radio0 for encoder radio ivtv0: Initialized card #0: Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 ivtv: End initialization ivtv0: Loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (376836 bytes) ivtv0: Loaded v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw firmware (262144 bytes) ivtv0: Decoder firmware dead! ivtv0: Retry loading firmware ivtv0: Loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (376836 bytes) ivtv0: Loaded v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw firmware (262144 bytes) ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 ivtv0: Decoder revision: 0x02020023 _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
