I wonder if xawtv is making a gfx call that causes rivafb.ko to load. What
if rivafb.ko was moved ...?
Since that would be an easy test and since I am in no position to argue
otherwise, I tried it. It didn't work. Had the exact same freeze up as
previously. But thanks for the resolution attempt.
I think I'll leave my rivafb.ko permanently renamed since it doesn't seem
to hurt anything...
