Daniel I was looking at this to see if we could use the chromaosd stuff for the PVR 350 which only supports Xv not XvMC. The main reason is that the osd drawn by X is much nicer than the blended Xv one which flickers horribly. The attached patch appears to work for me. Is there any reason

It happened for me as well. I believe it's the preview window causing the problem. The recordings page came up and then crashed after it tried to display the window.

At least for DVB-T in the UK the data is sent on 6 multiplexes and then you pull out the individual channel from that multiplex. So you tune to a frequency (multiplex) and then extract the mpeg for the particular channel you want from the ones that are multiplexed onto that channel. This sounds pr

My understanding of the checkbox is that it allows you to control the volume of the tv if you feed the output of the 350 to the line in of your audio card. This requires the code to open the audio device though even though it isn't actually used for audio playback. By ticking this box you say that

No 0.2 had a compatibility interface to support 0.1.9. So the new driver is backwards compatible. 0.1.9 is not forwards compatible which is the dependency you have added. As for a bug in the driver, I believe it is considered to be Alpha and therefore subject to change. John > > If any ioctl i

Yes there were other changes to the ioctl's so we do need to be careful adding the new header file since I think code compiled with the new header won't work with 0.1.9. John > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Isaac Richards > Sent: 04
