| Post subject: | PVR-350 TV-OUT: I can't locate the frame buffer number. |
I'm trying to get MythTV (knoppmyth R4V4.1) working on my PVR-350, and the installation has been going fairly well. I finnally have it all up and running with my monitor, but I would like to get it working on my TV. I have been following all of the HOW TO guides, but when I get to the point where you get the frame buffer from the "/var/logs/messages" file, there is no line that contains "fbX: iTVC15 TV out frame buffer device". I can't find any posts that resolve this problem, and I would love some help. ALSO (quick side question) if "lspci" tells me that my PVR-350 is located at "01:0a.0" then when I change my "XF86Config-4" file do I put the BusID as "0:0x0a:0" or "1:0x0a:0"? Thanks for any assistance. |

Thanks, but no thanks. It turns out all of the problems I was having have been documented and have solutions. Anyway, if anyone is having the same problem here how to fix it (in a nutshell). 1. Install KnoppMyth 2. Change playback setting to use PVR350 decoder 3. Recompile mps3400.o 4. Add the three lines to modules/ivtv 5. Chmod 666 fb1* 6. Copy over XF86Config-4.pvr350-tvout.sample 7. Edit XF86Config-4 and place in corrent framebuffer and ide bus 8. Change mouse device in XF86Config-4 from "Mouse0" 9. Reboot I'll post a more detailed HOW TO when I get my box working 100%. I'm getting a "ivtv: 100 ms time out waiting for firmware" error when I try to watch tv. It only happens about half the time, the other half of the time it works great. So if you know of a solution to this problem please let me know, |
