OK - good because this matches what I had, too. I was merely guessing maybe it was the delay, but apparently it is something else. I should say though that when I manually run the scripts it does not peg the cpu - but my solution was the same as yours, script the start and then kill X and restart.

Well the good news is that your cx25840 looks much happier. I don't know why you're still getting DMA errors though. Have you tried a more recent version of the driver yet? I know there have been a couple changes to the DMA code since 3.5.l, but I'm not sure if they address your issue. GR
