All,

I'm trying to figure out a good value for the driver to use as a default
for this parameter, so I can stop repeating the mmio_ndelay answer on
the list :) .  I'm sure users expect the driver to "just work" out of
the box and I'd certainly like to make it that way.

So far various people have reported that 91, 121, and 152 fix their
respective problems.  So that means I'll need to check in a value of 152
as a default.  Has anyone else found they need to use a even higher
value for correct operation?

Look in /proc/interrupts and see what devices are sharing IRQ lines with
ivtv and cx18, and look in dmesg or /var/log/messages for any messages
about the kernel disabling/ignoring IRQ lines (i.e. "nobody cared").


Use the cx18 debug module parameter to turn on Warning, Info,
Mailbox/API, and IRQ debug messages.  See what gets logged especially
when you try to do a capture.  If nothing jumps out at you, also turn on
the high volume debug flag.

Andy
