[Motion-user] (nearly) ot: v4l vs. motion on epia

[Andrea O. <and...@ne...>]

Hi all, I'm trying to make motion work with an epia PD6000 which is a
mini-itx board w/ fanless cpu (@600MHz).
Don't know whether is due to the bus or the cpu but I get an error
message on syslog:
bttv0: timeout: drop=0 irq=blah/blah risc=blah bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW
RISCI
Right after that motion dies badly (killed by sigkill).

With a little investigation, I've found the message in syslog comes from
bttv-driver.c (kernel), but it is considered to be simply an info, not
even a warning.

I tryed to put some extra logs in motion to find out the cause, without
any form of success. :-(((((((
Sometime I reach some code and sometime I do not.
Since I'm running just two threads (main thread plus one for the input)
and I put extra logs in video.c (motion), it seems to me that problems
are outside motion itself, more likely in v4l stratum, at least with
such hw.

At this point: did anyone ever make motion work on such an epia?

NOTE:
Nearly the same setup (just different kernel) goes straightforward with
an asus mb and P4, where I can get motion work fine.

Bye
