Added this to videocard Device section in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Code:
Option "NoLogo" "yes"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"


Error:
Code:
cx25840 2-0044: cx25841-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0)
i2c_adapter i2c-2: sendbytes: error - bailout.
cx25840 2-0044: 333MHz i2c firmware load failed
cx25840 2-0044: firmware /lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM load failed


Added this to /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv and ran "update-modules"
Code:
options cx25840 fastfw=0


Error:
Code:
ivtv0 warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #227304: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently available


Added this to /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv and then ran "updates-modules"
Code:
options ivtv mpg_buffers=8 max_mpg_buffers=32


The rest of my changes had to do with adding a Network Everywhere WUSB11 wireless network adapter

http://at76c503a.berlios.de/distro_debian.html

and probing for the right remote code for my Starchoice receiver

Other than that, the Nvidia driver installation went smoothly, and the rest of my experience has been very positive with this newest version of Knoppmyth as lots of the code that needed to be patched in was done for me already.

I had problems with the weather autodetection putting "X" for my locale, I reset this to 90210 and it would bring up Hollywood's weather and then I set it to my locale.

Code:
root@mythtv:~# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 163 to server version: 4.0.22-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> connect mythconverg;
mysql> update settings set data = '90210' where value = 'locale';


Some other code that might be useful:
See your locate setting:
Code:
mysql> connect mythconverg;
mysql> select * from settings where value = 'locale';


Set my locate to Edmonton, Canada (which I set via the GUI)
Code:
mysql> connect mythconverg;
mysql> update settings set data = 'CAXX0126' where value = 'locale';

More hardware details please!!! These are supposed to be recommendations of specific hardware so people can use them as a model for their own systems.

My signature in the posting above is a fairly barebones example. Maker and model numbers for at least the motherboard and TV card(s) (Hauppauge PVR-150 model 1045 right?), preferably the video card too. We get lots of folks with "what is good hardware" or "will this hardware work" or even "how do I make this hardware work" questions and and best way to answer those is being able to point them to a posting like this with a working configuration.

Thanks!

The remote/receiver would lock up from time to time and get reset in dmesg ...
Code:
i2c_adapter i2c-2: sendbytes: error - bailout.
lirc_pvr150: i2c_master_send failed with -14
lirc_pvr150: polling the IR receiver chip failed, trying reset
lirc_pvr150: i2c_master_send failed with -121
lirc_pvr150: polling the IR receiver chip failed, trying reset


Trying this fix for it:
http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=23
Code:
# svn co http://ivtvdriver.org/svn/ivtv/tags/0.4.0
# cd 0.4.0/driver
# wget -O i2c-0.4.0.patch http://ivtvdriver.org/trac/attachment/ticket/29/i2c-0.4.0.patch?format=raw
# patch -p0 < i2c-0.4.0.patch
# make && make install
# reboot

Thank you for the code. I saw the article, but was a little apprehensive to try it. It just looked complicated. I will have to try this tonight when I get home.
