[mythtv-users] More PVR350 and X problems

[Hamish Tweedie]

  I´ve been following some of the recent threads regarding PVR350´s and
  X, but alas my situation didn´t appear to be covered!!

  I´m running Linux 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at using Axel´s RPMs and
  ivtv 0.1.10pre2-ck104f (although I role back to thr 1.9 release and
  get the same result!).

  I can capture video fine with the 350. The test pattern displays fine,
  and if I fire up Myth it can use the 350s encoder to display a channel
  signal and change channels fine, sothere are no probems with the 350
  capturing or displaying.

 The problem starts when I try and boot with fb0 as the X display. All
 that happens is that I get a screen with a white cursor (it moves
 around the screen but nothing happens) and the following output occurs
 in the XFree86.log file:

(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such device
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

  As I say fb0 is available and appears to work for Myth/test pattern
  but I can´t get things sorted with this card (I´ve had X working with
  another 350 a while ago using exactly the same XF86Config file). I´ve
  set the TV to auto standard so it accepts any signal (NTSC, PAL and
  SECAM) so this isn´t a standards issue!

  I´ve posted my XFree86.log, modules.conf, dmesg.txt (when I fire up
  normally without using fb0 as a display device .. not sure how to
  capture it for when I do try to use fb0 as an X display!) and
  XF86Config at the following URL:

  Appreciate if anybody could help with this, as it appears to be the
  last piece in the puzzle (well apart from integrating the PVR250 in
  :-)

  Thx .. if you´ve any queries please give me a yell!!
