I have been messing with getting my new PVR-350 to work. I have tried
different ivtv versions. Currently I am attempting to use the "Halloween
Edition".
My setup consists of a PVR250 and a PVR350 card. I am able to install all
of teh modules and do a dd from one input to the output (/dev/video16) on
the PVR350 card and I can play video no problem. I am very pleased with
the quality.
My last step was to get XFree running again now using fbdev on the TV. I
keep running into the error you see below of "Invalid Argument". I have
no idea what is causing it.
I am modprobing ivtv-fb before running this. Below is my XFree86Config
file (which is Torsten Schenkel's version with a few changes for NTSC vs
PAL), and then below that the XFree startup log if anyone could give me
some insight as to what to do to get it working properly.
My hunch is that it has something to do with teh nvidia video drivers I
had installed on the machine when I was using a GeForece4 MX card with
TV-Out (Which looked terrible I might add).

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
