[mythtv-users] Enabling firewire

Hey all,

I'm trying to justify building a whole mythtv rig to my wife so I'm
trying to get a preliminary setup running on my little laptop.  I've
got everything as it needs to be but I'm trying to get the setup
working with my Motorola DVR set-top box from Comcast.  Everything
looks cool on the setup.  I've got mysql, lame, qt, etc running on
Mandriva free 2006.  The motorola box uses a firewire out to transfer
data and that's where I'm running into the problem.  Everything on the
OS side looks like 1394 is enabled and working.  I know the port works
ok because I can do video captures using windows + firewire.

does anyone have experience using myth + firewire.  When I do a
./configure on myth, the firewire option always comes back "no"
regardless of what options I try.

Sorry about the fragmented info but I don't really know what would
help the most.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
