Axel, thanks for this suggestion.  I shan't be able to try it
immediately, but if the problem is still there after any upcoming
updates I'll report back eventually.  

I should have added that in Centos the hardware monitor identified the
usb receiver as (again IIRC) an Avermedia device - and after an
unplug/replug sequence reported two of them.  In the FC5 HWM it appears
as Wideview/Typhoon, as it does in dmesg on both systems.  Might a
suitable modprobe correct this?
