[pxc] Re: Problem with pxc & RH 7.1

[Gonzalo González Rodríguez]

Hi!

I've been having the same problem as you. I loaded the module without any 
trouble, but when I wanted to read the device, it hanged the console.

I guess it should be some hardware problem. I moved the pxc200 to other 
PC, where it worked fine. The first one was newer (Pentium III), and the 
second one older (Pentium II 233), where it finally worked...

... although I can't see a proper image... I get misaligned lines. I'm 
willing to finally manage it. 

One alternative you can try is making a Windows partition, and checking
whether the hardware works with another OS. If it doesn't -> you got it.  
That's what I did.

Hope this may help you, at least a little bit :)
