[mythtv-users] Problems starting X with PVR 350

[Martin Ravell]

I'm banging my head against the wall a little here trying to get my PVR 350
working with X on the framebuffer and would appreciate a hand.

 

Here is the rig :

 

Intel motherboard 

P4 2.4 Gig

512Mb

Hauppage PVR 350

 

Fedora Core 1

2.4.22-1.2197.nptl_51.rhfc1.at

 

I'm in Sydney, Australia and therefore using PAL.

 

Setup is via Jarod's guide with apt-get and copies of the config files can
be found at http://www.rave-tech.com.au/mythtv/

 

Now, the message I'm getting is that the X server cannot be started :

 

  open /dev/fb0: No such device

  No devices detected

 

 

Now, a 'cat /var/log/messages |grep "iTVC15 TV out"', returns :

 

Aug 19 17:43:37 porky kernel: fb0: iTVC15 TV out frame buffer device

 

 

I'm guessing that the issue could have something to do with the BusID
setting in XF86Config.

 

an lspci -v returns :

 

02:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2
Encoder (rev 01)

            Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350

            Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 3

            Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]

            Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

            

 

Am I correct in thinking that this translates into :  

 

      BusID "2:0x02:0"

      

in my XF86Config file? I've tried various values here just in case I am
completely missing the plot.

 

I know that the card is good. It captures just fine.

 

 

Any thoughts as to what would cause the error?

 

 

 

Regards

Marty
