[ Apologies; my mailer really sucks, so I inadvertantly posted this to -dev a minute ago; please ignore there ]
Just hard-upgraded the sis's Mythbox to SuSE 11.3 (2.6.34) and Myth .23.1 And, of course, because I didn't do my homework, I'm getting the *********************** WARNING *********************** ivtv drivers prior to 0.10.0 can cause lockups when reading VBI. Drivers between 0.10.5 and 1.0.3+ do not properly capture VBI data on PVR-250 and PVR-350 cards. error. My ivtvctl says it's 0.10.5, in fact, and we're actually still locking the machine. My *question*, though, is this: how do you upgrade the actual driver now that it's in the mainline? The ivtvdriver.org howto doesn't actually cover this, and, at 2.6.34, I don't have a lot of kernel upgrading left to do -- I would *really* prefer not to have to go off the reservation, kernel wise, if I don't have to. Can Andy or someone give me the 3 sentence precis of this, and once I've got it done, I'll write it up for the wiki? ( Sorry this is poorly threaded, but my mailer won't let me at the damn references header to unlink it... ) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
