[mythtv] PVR 250 Problems

[Brian Foddy]

I picked up a 250 today and have been trying to install it in Mandrake 9.1
according to the HOWTO 19.10.  Everything seemed to go like clockwork,
compiling and installing.  On my machine its /dev/v4l/video2 as 0 and
1 are taken by other cards. 

Video2 is set for hardware encoding in the setup 
program, and in recording setup...

 However when I try to start myth against
that card the backend console spitsout errors like:

Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - Composite 0
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - Composite 1
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - Composite 2
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - Composite 3
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - Tuner 0
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - Composite 4
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - S-Video 0
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - S-Video 1
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - S-Video 2
Probed: /dev/v4l/video2 - S-Video 3

with no hint of video or audio.  If I try 
mplayer /dev/v4l/video2
it returns an error indicating an unsupported/unrecognized format.

What puzzles me is the ivtv install says v4l2 is needed, but
to my knowledge the standard Mandrake 9.1 doesn't have
v4l2 support included (or does it)...

Any ideas?  BTW...  This is a cvs snapshot from 16apr, I
can upgrade needed.

Thanks,
Brian
