I'm running 'single head' -- ie trying to get everything to go to the
TV-Out of the
PVR-350.
From my syslog:

Mar 28 14:51:56 localhost kernel: fb1: iTVC15 TV out frame buffer device
My XF86Config-4 looks like most people's ... with the appropriate fb
device for me, and proper
PCI bus ID:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
Driver "fbdev"
### change the busid to whatever is reported by lspci. Note that
### output of lspci is hex, so add a preceding "0x" to the BusID
BusID "0:0x0a:0"
### change fb1 to whatever number you got in the previous section
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
EndSection
My modules.conf follows. The one weird bit, is that the ivtv module
wouldn't load with just
the char-major-81 entries ... it wasn't until I put in the 'alias
/dev/video* ivtv' that /dev/fb1 was
even created at boot.
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias /dev/video* ivtv
alias /dev/vbi* ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 mpg_buffers=90
options tuner type=2
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv ivtv-fb lirc_dev lirc_i2c
post-install ivtv-fb /usr/local/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -alpha -on
-globalalpha -nolocalalpha
--------------------------------
Any help is greatly appreciated. It's so close to working it's killing
me, LOL.
