> I'm trying to configure bt878-based video capture card ( Pixelview
PlayTV

but

> I tried default driver from 2.2.14 kernel, 0.7.34 and 0.7.39. They all

without

activity

seconds )
> results in a complete lockup. Running applications stop, even overlay
window
> does not update, all I can do is to press Power button.
> My configuration:
> hardware: crappy Via Apollo Pro 133-based motherboard ( tweaking PCI
settings
> didn't solve problem ), S3 Savage4 AGP video card.
> software: kernel 2.2.14 with I2C patches, latest 3.3.6 X server for S3
Savage
> family, running in 16bpp. Xawtv 3.18.
