Axel, thanks for this suggestion. I shan't be able to try it immediately, but if the problem is still there after any upcoming updates I'll report back eventually. I should have added that in Centos the hardware monitor identified the usb receiver as (again IIRC) an Avermedia device - and after an unplug/replug sequence reported two of them. In the FC5 HWM it appears as Wideview/Typhoon, as it does in dmesg on both systems. Might a suitable modprobe correct this? _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
