Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-
After installing Kubuntu 8.04 + all available updates (obviously it's now called 8.04.1) I tried to install mythtv and figured out, that the video generated by my Hauppauge PVR-150 MCE looked strange. When reading directly from /dev/video0 the video was recognised as MPEG, but although the card was tuned to a correct frequency, the image was quite distorted (weird colors) and the syslog was spammed with the following:
Jul 7 15:14:59 grois kernel: [ 3492.419385] cx25840 2-0044: 1x2 is not a valid size!

This is just the start of the error messages, the last lines were repeated over and over until one stopped the playback.
For me replacing the firmware-files (v4l-cx24850.fw and v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw) in /lib/firmware/
I attached the working firmware to this post. As I said, I don't know where I got this files from, so install them on your own risk, you have been warned.
Hi Andreas,
Development for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release is currently under way. If you get a chance could you confirm this is still an issue with the latest Alpha for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10. More information regarding the latest Alpha can be found at http:// www.ubuntu. com/testing. Please let us know your results.
Additionally, beginning with the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 development cycle the linux-ubuntu- modules package was actually merged with the linux kernel package. Going forward, bugs that would have been reported against linux-ubuntu- modules should now just be reported against linux. I'll go ahead and add the 'linux' task for this report. However, against linux-ubuntu- modules- 2.6.24 this will be closed as it does not qualify for a Stable Release Update - http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/StableRelea seUpdates . Thanks.
