Hi Jerome,

that's a bttv kernel module bug rather than a GM bug..=20

Quoting Damien Sandras:
-(snip)-
The fact that xawtv or helix work do not imply bttv has no
bugs, it simply imples bttv has no bug with the V4L options required by
xawtv/helix. Those V4L requirements are different for GM. For example,
GM requires YUV420P for encoding instead of RGB24 when available,
because it permits faster encoding as the codec requires also YUV420P.
-(snip)-

You can try with the GM 1.0.2-1 package from experimental which should
have a fixed V4L support in the libpt-plugins-v4l package (1.6.5-1).=20

If that does work, i'll close the bug as it's not GM that crashes the
PC, but your bttv driver.

--=20
Best regards,
 Kilian
