Looks like this is the same issue that screws up Apple's built-in VNC client - symptoms are the same: machine is visible through Bonjour, I can connect, the mouse pointer moves, but screen doesn't get updated. Super frustrating. -- Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/Virtual

Hi. Thanks for all your reports. It should be appreciated that these fixes in no way affect the tuner module and should have no impact on channel reception. If you find a difference then it can either be a transient one else a bug elsewhere although I cannot see where that could be. I have tidie

lo Testing and patch cleanup will be completed by Nov. 8th. The patches will then be presented elsewhere. How long they take to arrive in the kernel can only be guesswork. Until that time a few things will be tested: 1. confirmation that dvb-t retuning on the hvr4000 is fixed. 2. confirmation

P.S. Some other investigation and not related to the fault observed here needs persuing with the hvr1300 IR receiver. Perhaps a new bug needs creating, but observation so far is that ir-kbd-i2c is not probing correctly unless i2c_scan is enabled. bye -- Channel scan timed out https://bugs.launchp
