ones?

His binary X driver is all that it takes to get DVDs playing.  You have to
edit your XF86Config-4 to make it use his X driver.

I noticed after putting on his X driver that the main menu hightlights
sometimes didn't work right and Matthias told me to install this patch to
ivtv
http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/ivtv-fb-fix-prepdma.diff

I think it's the second link down on his page.   That fixed the highlights
issue.  So to sum up.
Install his binary X driver (basically copy to directory)
Edit your XF86Config-4
Patch ivtv-0.1.9 with ivtv-fb-fix-prepdma patch.

You should be good to go.
Good luck
Malcolm
