hello, world\n I wonder if there is anything I can tune to get a decent frame rate from my tv card identifying as bktr0: <BrookTree 878> mem 0xc2000000-0xc2000fff irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci1 bktr0: Hauppauge Model 38104 B208 bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Philips PAL I tuner. The frame rate is okay if the system is idle (ASUS A7N8X, AMD Athlon 2500+, FSB 333, 1GB RAM, 4-STABLE) but as soon as there is a lot of disk IO, say find / or cvsup, the picture often halts for fractions of a second. Audio continues without interruption. Is there anything in the BIOS, X11 config or kernel I can tune to make the frames display smoothly even when disk IO is significant?
