[mythtv-users] ivtv setup correctly?

[Azmat]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get MythTV to work on this machine.

My specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (2.08 GHz) processor
Asus A7N8X-VM/400 Mothboard
512 MB DDR 2800 RAM
200 GB Maxtor HD
Hauppage PVR-350 
Fedora Core 2 (running kernel 2.6.7-1.499_7.rhfc2.at from ATRPMS)

I followed Jarod Wilson's MythTV guide for the most part, getting each
package with apt-get, with the exception of the ivtv part, where I
downloaded the rpms separately. I'm using the ivtv-0.1.10pre2-ck99e
release, since I read that was working with FC2. I can get mythtv
pretty much up and running but I really can't do anything as far as
watch TV or record shows. From the shell I can cat /dev/video0 >
somefile.mpg and view that with mplayer just fine but tvtime says
"Cannot open capture device /dev/video0" when I try to tune it and
also "videoinput: Card failed to allocate capture buffers: Invalid
argument" in the stderr when its run. Also xawtv seg faults for some
unknown reason. The weird thing is that after I try to run tvtime, I
can no longer cat /dev/video0 and get a recording.

I'm not sure I have ivtv setup correctly. Here is the output of my
/bin/dmesg (grep ivtv):

I notice I don't have the lines that say: "ivtv: Registered v4l2
device, minor 0", etc. that I've read that you should see in this
output. That's also why I think I don't have things setup correctly. I
really appreciate the help.

Also, here's my /etc/modprobe.conf:

}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
