[mythtv-users] Beating my head against a wall with PVR-350 and X

[Scott Francis]

Looks like your BusID might not be correct.  In looking at the PVR350 out TV howto they have it in the following format:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
        Driver      "fbdev"

        ### change fb1 to whatever number you got in the previous section
        Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"

        ### 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 "0:0x08:0"
EndSection

Yours is shown to be:
BusID        "PCI:01:07:00"


Hope that helps.  Either not being in Hex...or having that PCI at the front might be killing you.  I had the flashing icon problems also before I got the thing working, and for me it pointed to errors in my XFree86Config file.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Beating my head against a wall with PVR-350 and
X 


I have beaten my head against the wall so many times I have permanent brain
damage. I can get video to stream through using Jarrod's guide.  However
when I go to run X thought he 350 I get a curser flashing.  I can type stuff
and they curser moves but I can't read anything. 

I have searched and tried everything that I can find in the archive along
with the source forge ivtv site.  HELP!
