works now, Here's what I had to put in XF86Config:<br>
<br>
Driver "ivtvdev"<br>
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb2"<br>
BusID "PCI:0:10:0"<br><br>
I apparently had ivtvdev_drv at one point, had removed the other
options at one point, and /dev/fb/2 at one point, so once I got all the
ducks in a row, it worked like a dream!<br>

I got ivtv-fb back - turns out the ebuild is a little buggy. I got the
framebuffer device back, I had to modprobe ivtv cardtype=2 to get
ivtv-fb to load<br>
<br>
but still no fbdev or ivtvdev_drv working in X, same error about not having a "ModuleData data object"<div><span class="e" id="q_106c90943f4fea0b_1"><br>

HELP!!<br>
<br>
I recompiled and installed ivtv 0.3.8, <a href="http://x.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">x.org</a> 6.8.2-r5 and the 0.10.6
xdriver. they all compiled perfectly, but now I can't get tvout to work.<br>
<br>
Symptoms:<br>
<br>
ivtv-fb is missing now. It's not in ivtv-0.3.8, so I assume it got replaced by some other module? What should I be loading?<br>
<br>
What changes do I need to make to XF86Config to make X happy? I tried
using ivtv_drv, ivtvdev_drv, fbdev and fbdev_drv, and I get the
following:<br>
<br>(EE) LoadModule: Module ivtvdev_drv does not have a ivtvdev_drvModuleData data object.<br>
(EE) Failed to load module "ivtvdev_drv" (invalid module, 0)<br>
(EE) No devices detected.<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br><span>

</a><br><br>Down a ways there is a discussion about compiling the Xv, and XVmc drivers

I'll take a peek at that. I'm pretty sure the problems I'm having have
to do with version numbers or strange things about gentoo that don't
work right, but I'll see if it helps any.<br>

<br>if you are using an oddly named kernel, the modules will get built under
<br>/lib/modules in a folder called something like 2.6.12-12custom... You<br>have to move the drivers to the correct place which is something like<br>/lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk-i686-4GB-up/kernel/drivers etc etc etc...<br>
<br>The compiling itself is nothing... But note, you may have to re-compile X<br>from scratch in order to make this work... Not difficult but<br>time-consuming.. Takes about 1 and three quarter hours on my Via SP13000<br>
box...Definitely a start and go to lunch project.</blockquote></span><div><br>
Yeah, it's gentoo, so I'm used to that ;-P I'm trying to work it all
into an ebuild so I can do the whole thing unattended, but I need to be
able to do it manually first, I think.<br>

Googlism has a lot to say about "Jeff Simpson" including that I'm a
Hero in Cuba, I am leaving MIT to take a job at UNH (ironic since I do
in fact work at MIT....a previous Jeff Simpson that worked at MIT as a
chem professor is now working at UNH). It's also worth noting that jeff
simpson is a graduate of the wealth barber school of journalism, a
disco king in his native land of gouzenko, and an educational
consultant based in ukiah. He is also published by bbc worldwide and is
available now, is now offering tai chi classes at unity, and is on
trial.<br>
