The op mentioned that he also had an APC UPS device that hung at the same time (although if I interpreted the posting correctly, that one recovered after the machine reboot; maybe it was not as confused and dazed as the pvrusb devices and was able to be reinitialized at boot). AFAIK the APC device does not use the V4L subsystem (although you can never tell, APC is working at doing entire DC management, and maybe this one takes video/pictures of the site). So, I am sticking with my WAG. Gary _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
