I can swear it might have to do with the tvcard with tv on and vmware at the same time also active. Or maybe just 1 of them. I'm even considering to buy tomorrow a new tvcard and see if it makes any difference. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
