<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I apologize if I double post, as I sent a previous
message, but just realized that I had previously unsubscribed to the
list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My system includes:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Athlon XP 1700</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Radeon 9700 Pro</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hauppauge 350 PVR</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>512 MB Ram</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sound Blaster Live</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to preface this message with a qualifier
that I am a newb wrt MythTV and Fedora.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been following Jared Wilson's instructions
to the T, without any issues. Everything seems to have worked fine up to
step 10: Get and Install Capture Card Drivers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ISSUE 1) I got to the point where I need to find
out what frame buffer my device has that ivtiv-fb grabs. I type in the
command: <!--StartFragment --><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>
cat /var/log/messages |grep "iTVC15 TV out" </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>However I get no result. In the example there is a result
like: <!--StartFragment --> Feb 7 21:17:39 htpc kernel: fb1: iTVC15
TV out frame buffer device </DIV>
<DIV>But I get nothing. No message, nothing. It just prompts
me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ISSUE 2) I wanted to go one step further to see if
things were okay with my process, so I successfully placed a test image on my tv
with the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><!--StartFragment --> /sbin/rmmod saa7127<BR>/sbin/modprobe saa7127
test_image=1 </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And then unloaded and reloaded saa7127 without the
test image.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then I tried to play video off the card on my tv
with the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><!--StartFragment --> /usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -noglobalalpha
-localalpha </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However I get an error that says that
Option localalpha must be set to yes or no. I am guessing that has
something to do with there being a "no" in front of global alpha, and there
needing to be one in front of local alpha. However the instructions have
neither, so I do not know what to put in there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So that is where I am at this point. As I
said before, I am a newb, so troubleshooting beyond the very basics is a
challenge on my own. Any guidance on my 2 issues would be greatly
appreciated. I don't want to go ahead without rectifying this stuff
because I don't want to miss something that I need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>QUESTION: Oh, one more thing.
Throughout the instructions, Jared refers to running "X" on the PVR350's
output. What does that mean? Does that just mean using the PVR 350's
output as the output for the myth system, or does it mean something completely
different?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any guidance anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
