[mythtv-users] Gentoo, PVR350, ivtv and Xorg 6.8.0 NO ivtvdev

[Jeff Simpson]

it def does work. I have the same setup almost exactly, gentoo with
kernel 2.6.9, xorg 6.8.0-r3, pvr350 (rev990)

my xorg.conf file:
http://jeff.jeffornot.com/XF86Config

the startup script I'm using for myth:
http://jeff.jeffornot.com/start_myth.sh

(both of those files probably have a LOT of unneccessary stuff. The
startup script automatically runs setup when I exit the frontend, cuz
I'm too lazy to make two scripts. The xf86config file is the same one
I've had since like redhat 6, I've just been editing it and
regenerating/merging old files together. I think that one even has
some remnants of the old ati gatos drivers in it)

ivtv version: 0.2.0_rc3
myth version: cvs (0.16 worked, too, however)
