Hi Bartosz

Yes, I just tried it (I think I did it before, but I may not have installed the DRM LKM). Anyway, the effect is very much the same, which is not surprising given that the same offending statement is in via_dma.c.

Are you using AMD64 (or x86_64 in new speak)? That may be part of the problem, although I fail to see how it would make a difference.

Did you try XV? I think the problem is very much related to an application opening an XV port, although it could be another part of mythtv.

And I am not sure whether there are different versions of the K8M890. lspci says about mine:
