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 finally found something of a resolution to this issue. Most if not all of the problem is down to the fact I am using an ATI video card. man I do not like those cards. Anyway, the driver for the card is broken in a dozen ways if not more. To fix the SegFault problem, I found that if I did this: export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true then MythTV would start working right... no more lockups, no more SegFaults. That leaves one issue with the WatchTV module... sometimes when switching channels, the vertical hold fails, and the workaround is to drop back to the main menu and go back into the WatchTV module. This is probably some ATI foolishness as well...
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?
That was force of habit. On a clean reinstall, I simply had to find and copy the firmware to the /lib/firmware directory. The driver support may be part of the kernel, but without the firmware, it's rather useless... and finding the firmware is a major pain. The well known source for it that is documented everywhere is dead, and has been dead for months... I have a copy though.... I wonder if I can upload it to the openSUSE wiki... I am not sure if it's copyrighted code though... C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
