The relevant part of my lspci is :

01:00.0 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 32, IRQ 10
        Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2


I took this to mean that the Device section in my XF86Config should look
like this as a result :


Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Hauppauge PVR350"
        Driver      "ivtvdev"
        Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
        BusID "1:00:0"
EndSection


I've also tried 

BusID "01:00:0"

and

BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

Etc

All to no avail.


Errors in /var/log/messages are :

I put my config and log files into http://www.rave-tech.com.au/mythtv/ in
case that will help.
