I was wondering if someone could tell me the purpose of the incremental DMA patch made to X Windows? What kind of problems would I see if I didn't have this patch applied (I do not have it applied).
I'm using a PVR-350. I've been bouncing around different versions of IVTV and for the most part, they work, but I seem to only be able to watch about 2.5 hours of stuff before I get some sort of freeze. I'm getting DMA errors in the messages log and I'm trying to figure out if I need your patch, or if there's some other configuration setting I should change. I've been having problems with both the 0.3.X and the 0.2.0-rc3j versions. These are the errors I'm getting with the 0.2.0-rc3j version: Jul 9 23:18:16 divo kernel: ivtv: DEC 2nd DMA Xfer Info failed=0xfffffff0 46432490 Jul 9 23:18:47 divo kernel: ivtv: DEC 1st DMA Xfer Info failed=0xfffffff0 46463275 Jul 9 23:18:47 divo kernel: ivtv: DEC 1st DMA Xfer Info failed=0xfffffff0 46463432 Jul 9 23:18:47 divo kernel: ivtv: DEC 1st DMA Xfer Info failed=0xfffffff0 46463452 Jul 9 23:18:47 divo kernel: ivtv: DEC 1st DMA Xfer Info failed=0xfffffff0 46463452 I have a very minimal modprobe.conf: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv I do a modprobe ivtv and modprobe ivtv-fb from the boot.local file during boot to initialize the drivers. I'm running on a dual processor Dell. The last version of the driver I had that worked consistently was 0.1.10-pre2-ck114f and I don't want to go back to that one because of all the improvements made since then. I'm running on SuSE 9.1 with Kernel 2.6.5-7.155.29. Thanks for all the great work guys. I can tell the newer drivers are a lot cleaner and transitions are a lot smoother, so I'm really looking forward to getting things squared away.
