<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have built a system around RedHat's Fedora Core 1
and followed Jarod's page at </FONT><A href="http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/"><FONT
face=Arial size=2>http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2>
and have succeeded in getting MythTV to work on the PC. Everytime I
follow the directions for enabling the ivtv-fb output at </FONT><A
href="http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-print.php?page=TvOutHowto"><FONT face=Arial
size=2>http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-print.php?page=TvOutHowto</FONT></A><FONT
face=Arial size=2> I can compile the driver (I have used ivtv-031125A-0.12,
ivtv-031125A and decoder-alpha-311003A versions) and install it, and can get
MythTV to output the video to the television, however the mythfrontend process
(or possibly the entire OS) locks up after approximately 15-20
seconds, faster if I change channels (using external receiver w/appropriate
channel changing perl script specified in MythTV setup) or rewind/FF the
video.<BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>When compiling the ivtv-fb driver,
I get a couple of "#warning Using temporary hack for missing I2C driver-ID for"
error messages, one for saa7114 and one for tveeprom.c. I have also seen
the onscreen error message in the terminal window while viewing the
logs"warning: cannot reserve video memory at 0x15000000 (not absolutely sure of
the error # there, sorry!)<BR><BR>Since MythTV works just fine w/out the ivtv-fb
driver installed, I'm fairly confident this is the culprit. W/out the TV
output, the system is virtually useless to me since I don't want to watch TV on
a CRT.<BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a new linux user, basically
got into it just to get MythTV setup and running. I am very versed in
DOS/Windows however, and am willing to learn Linux! :)<BR><BR></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>I've tried to include as much system info as I can
below. Any help you can offer in getting this working will be most
appreciated!</FONT></P>
