I suspect you are using the mythtv packages I am building for packman.
Probably :-)
You already mentioned, that you are using a Hauppage DVB-T Nova-T USB stick. I need some additional information. What's your graphics card and which driver are using for it? Are you using compositing (Compiz or KDE4).
The graphics card is an ATI Radion x1200 and I'm using the binary ATI drivers (8.493) from the openSUSE repository.
I am not sure about the capabilites of the ATI drivers. It could be useful, to play with the different video features of the card (XV, XVMC, Opengl) or disable hardware support using libmpeg instead.
Compiz is disabled.
That's fine. I am not sure about Compiz, but with KDE4 compositing I have problems. I am using a separate login with a special mythtv session I added to the packages instead.
I am currently using Gnome with the openSUSE 11 install (the basic Gnome that comes with 11.0, and then updated from the openSUSE repositories).
Gnome/KDE.. That shouldn't matter.
I also had the same vertical hold problem with KDE3.5.9 under openSUSE 10.3. I haven't tried KDE3.5.9 yet with 11.0 and MythTV... although I might soon.. Gnome is irritating the %$#$ out of me. I expect to have the same issues (vertical hold probs, and segfaults on exiting the Watch TV part of MythTV).
For this issue the following links may be relevant for you: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova- T_USB2#Issues_and_Problems This mentions a problem with channel switching which can be solved by configuring an additional delay.
To get the Nova-T USB stick working, I downloaded the v4l source and did a make, make install... copied the firmware into /lib/firmware. This is how I've always had to config this DVB-T USB stick. I used the same v4l source on the other test installs.
Support for this stick should exisit since kernel 2.6.20. Are you sure you have to compile the driver?
Kernel is 2.6.25.9-0.2-pae.
I dont't think pae really matters, but it is possible that some driver behaves different with pae. May be you should try kernel-default instead. Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
