I know this is really an ivtv issue but I didn't get any bites on my
original message. Any chance someone here has some suggestions?
Thanks,
greg.

I pulled the card out. It has the newer saa7129 chip. Could that be it?
Is there any special setup steps I need to do?
The other weird thing I notice is that /dev/video16 doesn't exist on
reboot. I assume that even though the 350 is /dev/video1, that the output
is still /dev/video16 right?
Could really use some suggestions on what to try next.
Greg.

Subject: PVR-350: problems with TV-OUT
I've been fighting with getting my PVR-350's TV-OUT to work with the
ivtv_fb driver for about a week now. No matter what I try, I can't get
the video to display. Capturing video works fine. I'm plan to use the
box for mythtv, so I'd like to get X working with the TV-OUT (composite).
>From what I've read, that means I'll need 3.x and ivtv_fb.
The video out always looks alternating white and black lines. See picture
at
http://www.kconline.com/ghormann/new/images/ivtv_small.jpg
Unloading the sa7127 module turns the screen black. Attempting to load
the module with test_image=1 yeilds an error. I'm uncertain where to go
from here. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecated. (I'll be the
first to admit I don't understand what all the different drivers do. I've
had trouble finding documentation on the topic too.)
Thanks,
Greg.
