Is the ivtv release on atrpm's broken? It didn't install<br>msp3400_ivtv.ko. The video received by the tuner is also skewed down<br>and to the left (I only get part of th screen).<br></blockquote></div><br>
Not really broken, but the packages don't just work out of the box. The
rpm installs the modules needed for the related kernel, but the new
kernels supposedly don't need all the ivtv specific drivers so they
aren't installed. The problem is that the way you originally got the
atrpms ivtv kernel modules to load was through alias lines in
modprobe.conf. Now that a ivtv specific module is gone, you don't need
all of your old elegant hacks, but they are all still there. The kernel
module is aliased to a non existent module preventing anything from
loading. To fix the situation delete the alias lines for the modules
that are no longer installed by the atrpms ivtv rpm.<br>

I think it would be nice if the atrpms ivtv rpm installed sym links
from the kernel version modules to the missing ivtv version modules so
that rpm updates won't break existing setups.<br>
