Hello all

I have tried 3 different knoppmyth revs.

the one that has always worked fine has been R4V5. I have gotten everything working fine. But one day the X over PVR350 wouldn't work.

I rebooted the machine and it seemed like ivtv was not loading correctly or ivtv-fb wasnt. X kept complaining about not being able to open /dev/fb0.

But my X config is set to use /dev/fb1.

I am assuming that it's complaing cause ivtv/ivtv-fb has "loaded/created/taken/used" /dev/fb1.

It seems that the PVR card has a mind of its own...is there setting on the card that can be reset/cleared something? Any help would be great. Posted below is the steps I have followed to get it all working:

cd /usr/src
wget http://205.209.168.201/~ckennedy/ivtv/i ... 0.3.1x.tgz
tar -zxvf ivtv-0.3.1x.tgz

#Get the firmware
cd ivtv-0.3.1x/utils
wget ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr ... 68_inf.zip
ivtvfwextract.pl pvr_1.18.21.22168_inf.zip

#Compile the new driver
cp videodev2.h ../driver
cd ../driver
make
make install
cd ../utils
make
make install

#edit your /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
options ivtv debug=1
options tuner type=39
# output_select 0==> composite, 1==> svideo [modify for your setup]
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0
options msp3400 modprobe
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb
post-install ivtv ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0x9a -d /dev/video16


update-modules

#copy & rename driver
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
cp /usr/src/ivtv-0.3.1x/utils/ivtvdev_drv_o ivtvdev_drv.o

#Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Driver "ivtvdev"

#remove and recreate fb0 & fb1
rm -f /dev/fb0
mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 1
chmod 666 /dev/fb0
chown mythtv /dev/fb0

rm -f /dev/fb1
mknod /dev/fb1 c 29 1
chmod 666 /dev/fb1
chown mythtv /dev/fb1
