[mythtv-users] VPDAU unexplained failure

[Oz]

Hi,

I have had mythtv 0.22 running on ubuntu 9.04 (Quad 2.4 GHZ/ 4GB ram 
system) Nvidia driver 185.18.36 card NVIDIA 8600gts

For the last 3 dyas VPDAU fail with this error message. I did not make 
any software or hardware change. I turn off/on the system to reset the 
hardware. there was no  change. Is this a hardware failure or software?. 
How can I fix/debug that?


Thanks
