First off I'd like to point out that I had considerable success with fw
1.20 and the drivers that I tested on mid-November.  At the time, the
driver had the issues with the repeating remote control messages.  Since
the update (I think November 16th) I have not been able to get a stable
build, suffering from the i2c problem.

My test environment consists of 2 different VIA Epia boards (SP8000 and
CN10000).  I have both a PCI Nova-T 500 2040:9950 and a USB stick
Nova-TD 2040:5200 which are dibcom devices.  I also have a Hauppauge
Nova-T PCI (cx88xx) and a Kworld 399U dual tuner USB stick 1b80:e399
(af9015).

The build is a scripted build of gentoo, built as a livecd (which means
it is very repeatable).  The snapshot of gentoo portage dates from
20081028 which gives me a 2.6.25 kernel.  I'm using gentoo-sources so I
get 2.6.25-gentoo-r7.

In one of my previous posts I mentioned that I am testing remote control
functionality using lirc.  This is using devinput and allows me to
abstract the key bindings for different applications.

What else can I tell you?
