tried video4linux as well as trient mailling lists
without any luck.
The issue is : I can start tv capture application,
it can play video. The cursor is over the application
as soon as I move this cursor off the tv window,
the computer will lock up completely (no ping,
no mouse, no keybard, serial console dead, screen
in some uniform color, say grey, with stripes of
some other color).
running xev on the tv app does not show any events occuring
just before the lock up, the serial console is setup for full
logging, does not show anything either.
my *guess* is that it is related to some bad things happening
on the pci bus.
any help on how to debug this problem? or where possibly
things could go wrong?
(note: thetgui_pci_* options below are just for this
particular dmesg, tried without them too and no difference)
