Good evening everyone,
I am looking for help installing KnoppMyth on a Shuttle SK41G with a PVR-250 installed. I hope to contact others who have been successful (or at least moreso than I've been). Sorry if my question(s) have been covered elsewhere, but I've been exhaustively seraching for days with mixed luck and now I'm really stuck.
So far I've been able to at least see the graphic environment. This was after editing the XF86config-4 file to support the ProSavage8 chip by including the following line:
Option "NoUseBios"
Otherwise, my monitor would trip-out. Luckily, this was covered before.
Beyond that stage, I've been able to get part ways into the rest of the setup. I've done steps 1-3 in the mythtv-setup as well as 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install xmltv' from the command promt.
However, in step "4. Input Connections" I get a segmentation fault. with the error of "Couldn't open /dev/video0 to probe its inputs." right above it. I assume this is related to the poroblem.
Now, I will say that during bootup, I notice two related lines:
"Found Internext Compression Inc iTVC15...."
and
"Failed to open /dev/video0..."
So, it's finding the board, but not setting it up as a video device? I'm not sure what to do with that information. Perhaps something to do with ivtv?
I hope I've provided enough information to job someone's memory, as I haven't seen this hardware configuration mentioned recently I did see that some like mcdrama were successful with this hardware setup over a year ago, as evidenced in a Tier 2 thread.
BTW, of those who have gotten this setup to run has anyone gotten overscan to work for viewing a tv? The last I heard (again, older posts), it wasn't supported.
Thank you for your time. -Gary
ps. Is it natural to scream at your computer? You see, I'm new to linux.
Got a machine in the corner running gentoo though, so I guess an old dog can learn new tricks. That's why I -thought- I was ready for KnoppMyth.
