this is a known issue with ubuntu 8.10 (i guess you are using it too). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 566212 ***
(In reply to comment #1) > this is a known issue with ubuntu 8.10 (i guess you are using it too). Yes, it is indeed a known issue, but not that one (I'd say fortunately... we're getting a duplicate rate of one per day, I'm getting bored about Ubuntu update policies) Anyway, reporter, it is a known issue from stk11xx driver. Developers should be already aware of it, because the reporter from the duplicate bug opened a ticket in their bug tracker. It seems to be gone unnoticed though.. so feel free to contact them again and point them to my fix (see the other bug in the next comment). Here is a link to the ticket in their tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/index.php?func=detail&aid=2411289&group_id=178178&atid=884191
