OK, so we have two different problems in this thread.  IMO: Niklas,
yours is a module problem and it could be like you said that the SiS
module is trying to take over the framebuffer.  I'm surprised I had not
heard of that before.  Have you done a search of the ivtv mailing list?
Stan, yours seems to be an xconfig problem.  Have you taken a look at my
xf86config file?  it was posted earlier on in this thread.

I'm actually kinda confused about who's got what problem.  maybe we
should start a new thread...
