Can anyone help as to why my Winfast TV 2000 card works perfectly with
knoppix or windows, but Mandrake 9.2 will crash either immediately or
within minutes of starting it with xawtv in full screen. This is a
serious crash, total lockup with the only recovery method being the
reboot button.
I have tried to copy the knoppix parameters as best I can, changed
sound module to cmpci, removed tvaudio.
Here is lsmod with 9.2:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
cmpci 33060 1
tuner 11688 1 (autoclean)
bttv 99648 0
videodev 7936 3 [bttv]
i2c-algo-bit 8552 0 [bttv]
soundcore 6340 0 [cmpci bttv]
i2c-core 20484 0 [tuner bttv i2c-algo-bit]

and this is lsmod for Knoppix:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
cmpci 33492 0
tuner 9408 1 (autoclean)
bttv 95968 0 (unused)
i2c-algo-bit 6888 1 [bttv]
i2c-core 12100 0 [tuner bttv i2c-algo-bit]
soundcore 3428 4 [cmpci bttv]
videodev 5472 3 [bttv]

The only other thing I can think of is that knoppix correctly
identifies my monitor as an ÄDI 5230, whereas Mandrake does not have
this driver, and I have to use a generic one. I wonder if there is
some way to get that driver from the knoppix disk or elsewhere?
Thanks if anyone can help
