I do see this on occasion, but it's always after one of two things:
either (a) mythfrontend has crashed and I have to reboot, or (b) I've
been tinkering with updating ivtv. A power down/reboot has always
fixed this for me, though.
My machine is a P3-550 w/256 MB RAM. Also, working from a tip I
picked up somewhere -- so many sites, and a terrible memory -- I
added this to the ivtv module config:
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; \
/sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb; \
/sbin/modprobe lirc-i2c; \
/usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -w cc,wss -b cc,wss -x 1
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r lirc-i2c && \
/sbin/modprobe -r ivtv-fb && \
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv
I haven't otherwise tuned the options for ivtv at all. (No, I'm not
doing anything with widescreen/wss, but I figured it couldn't hurt.)
One thing that is clearly different is that I'm using a stock
KnoppMyth kernel compiled for 586, not 686, and SMP is enabled. I may
compile a new kernel to fix both of those but so far I've been too
busy exploring things and trying to get ivtv-fb to work as a console.
No luck on the latter yet.
