Hello,

sorry if this is not the right list for this question
but I couldn't find a better place to put it.
I have a Hauppauge WinTV card attached to my i386 box.
When I try to access /dev/bktr (e.g. via fxtv), the 
machine freezes at once without any message. I can also
force this by doing just "cat /dev/bktr". 
When I bought this card 2 weeks before, it worked fine 
using a generic kernel from one of the latest snapshots
(can't remember exactly). But then I changed the graphic
card and played around with different versions of XFree86.
Since that day, I cannot get the WinTV card to work again.
Of course I tried to replaced the new graphic card with
the old one and switched back to XFree86.3.3.6 which
worked before but no matter what I try: every time I
access /dev/bktr, the machine hangs. I also put the WinTV
card into another PCI slot so it gets another IRQ assigned,
but always the same: crash.
Now my question: what can I do further to track down the
problem? I tried everything I can think of and I'm running
out of ideas now :(.

dmesg output looks pretty good:
