[mythtv-users] Problems with ivtvdev_drv

[Eggert Thorlacius]

Hello

I have been trying to install MythTV on a FC2 box with a Hauppauge PVR 
350 card (PAL version) with no success for the last few weeks.  I 
followed Jarod's guide and got to the point where I could see X on my 
TV and play TV by catting /dev/video0 to /dev/video16, but when I tried 
using mplayer to play fullsceen, it quit with the error message "there 
is no Xvideo support for your video card available"
I posted to this list and got no reply, so I decided to swap hard disks 
and start over.

Now I have three different scenarios:
* If I try starting X after following sections 1 to 10 of Jarods guide, 
I get "Failed to load module "ivtvdev" (module does not exist, 0)"
* If I move ivtvdev_drv.o from /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/modules/drivers to 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers, I get "LoadModule: Module ivtvdev does 
not have a ivtvdevModuleData data object"
* And if I install the http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/ivtvdev_drv.o.gz 
module in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers, I can start X but mplayer 
refuses to work ( I do get the error "IVTVDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: 
Invalid argument" in my Xorg.0.log, but it doesn't stop X from 
starting)

So what am I doing wrong?  What version of ivtvdev_drv am I supposed to 
use and where am I supposed to put it?
Regards,
