Nope, but I'm having the same problem. It's not fixed in any of Alan's patches
either.
I'm also having problems with the bttv driver, but I think that was only in Alan's
patched (-ac7) version. I'll do more checking now (I'm building test1 in the background
currently).
As far as old versions go, I don't think I tried any of the 2.3 series, but I
guess 2.3.99pre9 should be okay, because I never heard anything about it.
