[ivtv-users] Upgrade Ubuntu Hardy kernel ruined ivtv, upgrading to Ubuntu Intrepid doesn't help.

[stinky wizzleteet]

Dear Sander,
thanks for replying,
I now realize I've been unclear about my problems, sorry for that.

First, my Ubuntu Intrepid vanilla install (with my old mythconverg 
database) gives me choppy sound and an offset image:

please check it out at:

Tested Intrepid kernels are:
2.6.27-7-generic
2.6.28 built from git repository dec. 30 2008

Booted with kernel 2.6.28 dmesg gives me:

[79438.716153] ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02060039

I see nothing out of the ordinary with this, in the past (v 0.4 I believe) I had to specify a different tuner, tried that, but no effect whatsoever.

I am at a loss here.


Secondly, I tried to fix this by building ivtv-utils myself, but the build breaks because of a conflicting ivtv.h in both /usr/include/linux and /usr/src/linux/include/linux
Also, v4l-dvb-9d9288bed20b breaks on building bttv, but for a different reason I suspect.
Please do not comment on this in this thread, b/c I'm starting a new one, thanks.

All help is greatly appreciated,
