Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T generates high cpu load even if there is nothing going on. For example: #!/bin/bash echo "rmmod dvb_usb_dib0700" rmmod dvb_usb_dib0700 for ((i=0; i<10; i++)) do cat /proc/loadavg sleep 30 done echo "modprobe dvb_usb_dib0700" modprobe dvb_usb_dib0700 for ((i=0; i<10; i++)) do cat /proc/loadavg sleep 30 done rmmod dvb_usb_dib0700 0.51 0.50 0.47 1/289 8253 0.51 0.50 0.47 1/289 8261 0.31 0.45 0.45 1/289 8269 0.18 0.41 0.43 1/289 8277 0.11 0.37 0.42 1/289 8285 0.07 0.33 0.40 1/289 8295 0.04 0.30 0.39 1/289 8303 0.26 0.33 0.40 1/288 8312 0.16 0.30 0.38 1/289 8321 0.09 0.27 0.37 1/289 8330 modprobe dvb_usb_dib0700 0.13 0.25 0.36 2/291 8355 0.16 0.24 0.35 1/289 8370 0.64 0.35 0.38 1/289 8378 0.78 0.41 0.40 1/289 8386 0.58 0.40 0.40 1/289 8394 0.35 0.36 0.38 1/289 8404 0.21 0.32 0.37 1/289 8412 0.52 0.39 0.38 1/289 8433 0.84 0.48 0.41 1/289 8441 0.75 0.49 0.42 1/289 8450 Kernel: 2.6.32-rc8 (+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git drm-linus) Linux 2.6.32-rc8-00020-g5349ef3 #29 SMP Tue Nov 24 09:52:05 EET 2009 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X3 705e Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Gnu C 4.3.4 Gnu make 3.81 binutils 2.18 util-linux 2.14.2 mount support module-init-tools 3.5 e2fsprogs 1.41.3 PPP 2.4.4 Linux C Library 2.9 Dynamic linker (ldd) 2.9 Procps 3.2.8 Net-tools 1.60 Kbd 1.13 Sh-utils 7.5 wireless-tools 29 Modules Loaded dvb_usb_dib0700 ipv6 snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss libafs af_packet bridge stp llc tun bitrev kvm_amd kvm option btrfs zlib_deflate cryptomgr aead pcompress crypto_blkcipher crc32c libcrc32c crypto_hash crypto_algapi mt2060 usbserial mousedev usbhid usbmouse dib7000p dib7000m dib0070 dvb_usb dib3000mc dib8000 dibx000_common dvb_core usb_storage firewire_ohci radeon ohci_hcd ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ttm firewire_core drm_kms_helper drm usbcore firmware_class crc_itu_t i2c_algo_bit i2c_piix4 ohci1394 ata_generic pata_acpi snd_hda_codec_atihdmi ieee1394 processor cfbcopyarea thermal snd_hda_codec_via i2c_core atl1e thermal_sys snd_hda_intel nls_base snd_hda_codec pata_atiixp rtc_cmos atkbd snd_pcm floppy snd_timer rtc_core pcspkr snd rtc_lib sg 8250_pnp cfbimgblt cfbfillrect soundcore 8250 asus_atk0110 evdev serial_core psmouse snd_page_alloc hwmon serio_raw button unix ext4 jbd2 crc16 dm_mod raid1 md_mod sd_mod ahci libata scsi_mod fbcon tileblit crc32 font bitblit softcursor fb -Markus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
