+1 This one resolve annoying mythtv-setup output: "E FE_GET_INFO ioctl failed (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) eno: No such device (19)" http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/513410 But, there is a new one! Just had a little déjà vu :) Cheers, poma -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
