Last night I did a fresh R5F1 install and almost everything works perfectly except for three issues:
-my hauppauge remote needs multiple button presses in order to navigate around. I did some searching on the forum and quite a few other people are having the same problem.
-on the main menu if I see a screen full of icons and then navigate to the knoppmyth screen where there should be no icons on the bottom lower left and right I see previous icons there (horrible description) Almost like the screen did not refresh properly. My card is an nvidia FX5200.
-When I select the knoppmyth icon and select shutdown it hangs or goes to sleep. On a reboot I can shutown -h 0 and it always shuts off. Strange.

For the remote issues see the hints thread which includes links to a couple things to try. The biggest thing seems to be problems with the IR keyboard module, and disabling that clears it up.

What module are you speaking of? I am having a similar problem.

I believe tjc is referring to ir_kdb_i2c, as mentioned in http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15219

I forgot to do a followup. The fix is documented under R5F1 hints and hazards
To fix the problem code:
> su
> mv /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/kernel/drivers/media/video/ir-kbd-i2c.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/kernel/drivers/media/video/ir-kbd-i2c.ko-notneeded
> shutdown -h now

It worked for me!

Would there be any advantage/disadvantage to renaming that module instead of commenting it out in the /etc/init.d/KnoppMyth-tv file? I already have the saa7134-dvb module commented out and it didn't fix my problem.

The intent is to stop the module from loading. Whichever way works better for you is fine. The only advantage of renaming the file that I can think of is if some other script tries to load the module (then you have to comment it out from there and so on).

Exactly. Renaming it is pretty much a ""sure kill".

Also, if that doesn't fix it, upgrade to the newer version of ivtv. That fixed a remote issue for me.

Worked for me, too! Thanks for distilling the other post for this specific fix.



This is usually sound advice (I followed it only last week to address some issues I was having), however, R5F1 *is* the latest version as of 11 May 2007.

R5F1 is the latest released version of the KnoppMyth distro, it included version 0.10.1 of the ivtv driver. Version 0.10.3 of the driver was release on 2007-05-31, about 3 weeks after KM R5F1, with several very helpful fixes.

For details of the driver fixes see: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Main_Page

For upgrade instructions see: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv-0.10.0

Sorry, I never came back to this. I appreciate the help! I misread your previous post; you were talking about ivtv, not knoppmyth. I'll give that a go. Thanks again!
