[. Apologies; my mailer really sucks, so I inadvertantly posted this to
-dev a minute ago; please ignore there ]
Just hard-upgraded the sis's Mythbox to SuSE 11.3 (2.6.34) and Myth .23.1
And, of course, because I didn't do my homework, I'm getting the
*********************** WARNING ***********************
ivtv drivers prior to 0.10.0 can cause lockups when
reading VBI. Drivers between 0.10.5 and 1.0.3+ do not
properly capture VBI data on PVR-250 and PVR-350 cards.
error.
My ivtvctl says it's 0.10.5, in fact, and we're actually still locking the
machine.
My *question*, though, is this: how do you upgrade the actual driver now
that it's in the mainline? The ivtvdriver.org howto doesn't actually
cover this, and, at 2.6.34, I don't have a lot of kernel upgrading left
to do -- I would *really* prefer not to have to go off the reservation,
kernel wise, if I don't have to.
Can Andy or someone give me the 3 sentence precis of this, and once I've
got it done, I'll write it up for the wiki?
( Sorry this is poorly threaded, but my mailer won't let me at the
damn references header to unlink it... )
Cheers,
