<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I searched the posts and did not see an answer to
this issue. If it is a repeat I apologize.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I follwed Jarods woderful guide to install the
latest version of mythtv on fc2. Unfortunatly I can not seem to get my PVR
card to work correctly. Currently all I get are grey streaks. On my
FC1 system with the older version I am not running into this issue. As
usual, when it comes to linux, I am sure I am doing something wrong - but can't
figure it out. General hardware is an athlon2800 using pvr250 with nvidia
geforce fx 440, and soundblaster Audigy2.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>occasionally I will get sound. I have alos
tried using ivtvctl -p (0-8) just to see if the change made a
difference.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The one change I did make (which I don't think
should have affected anything) was that, after loading the new kernel and
booting to it kudzu would freeze. I did some research and was able to stop
this from happening by adding the following to the modprobe.conf:</FONT></DIV>
