kdetv and dapper -> X server crashes

[u19809]

Binary package hint: kdetv

Hi,

XVideo works (mplayer works, Xine works)

When I start kdetv, the screen goes black and X logs out (falls back to kdm) . Sometimes it even hangs and a hard reboot is needed.

In breeze KDEtv worked just fine

Version is 0.8.8

I can't reproduce here...
Did you try on a clean profile ?

Just installed kdetv in Feisty and I get the same problem still, the same I had on Dapper. I have resorted to using tvtime, in fact never did get to try kdetv since this issue has always been present for me.

Upon launching kdetv, the user can follow the first-time wizard or exit. If I exit the wizard, or I get to the channel scanning step, after scanning a few frequencies, the system just hard freezes, or at least exits my gnome session with a blank screen. Trying to switch to a vt with alt+Fx doesn't work.

my hardware configuration:
- internal pci Pinnacle 310i TV card, with DVB support, chipset is based on SAA7134
- AMD SEMPRON 2600+ 64bit CPU
- 1024MB DDR1 RAM
- VIA K8M800 chipset
- RADEON 9600PRO 256MB graphics card
- SBLive! soundcard (one of the original models, have it since 1999)
- 2 SATA, and 2 ATA harddrives
- DVDROM and DVDRW drives

This is probably the "Pinnacle 310i" problem only. I have same problem and same tv-tuner. Tested under Gutsy and Hardy. All things working normal except the remote "RC1144201_00" with lirc and kdetv with this tv-tuner.

Seems to be hardware-specific. Please reopen if reproducible in 8.10 alpha with different hardware.
