tvtime not working after upgrading to kernel-2.6.31-1 (Solved)

Hello friends,
When I am using kernel-2.6.30.8 it was everything ok with my system. tvtime has been working with least cpu utilization then. But after upgrading to kernel-2.6.31-1 I got following error messages when trying to open tvtime

damu@station210 ~]$ tvtime
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/damu/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.

*** tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card
*** driver.  If you are using an older NVIDIA card (TNT2), then
*** this capability is only available with their binary drivers.
*** For some ATI cards, this feature may be found in the experimental
*** GATOS drivers: http://gatos.souceforge.net/
*** If unsure, please check with your distribution to see if your
*** X driver supports hardware overlay surfaces.

What happened to driver and kernel? any way to go back to previous kernel version?
Requesting help! Thanks

Are you using the xf86-video-ati/radeonhd driver?

Try disabling KMS by appending nomodeset to the kernel parameters. At the moment kms ist not usable without upgrading some libs (mesa?, libdrm?). Search the forums for kms to get more information.

Thanks Perry3D
I disabled KMS as per http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI. Now tvtime is working great. With the release of kernel 2.6.32 KMS can be enabled for ati card with radeon3200 chips
