Hi all.
I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I have
installed knoppmyth R4 and I have a pvr-350.
I have enabled tv-out on it, by adding to /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv the line
for the saa7127 driver. I have also created a startup script linked to
/etc/rc5.d/S98/ivtv-fb in which I do modprobe ivtv-fb. I modifed the
XF86config-4 according to the information in ivtv-fb.c and I checked the use
PVR350 checkbox on the playback setup of Myth.
When the machine boots, I see X come up on my TV. Then Mythfrontend
starts up all happy (gui resized to fit) I can move around inside the GUI
fine, view weather, browse recordings etc. However when I go to Live TV.
The screen goes black and nothing. Esc doesn't bring me back to the GUI
either, I have to hit Q, which dumps me out to X.
If I change things so that X starts up on my computer monitor and
the ivtv-fb module is not loaded. I can run mythfrontend on the Computer
screen and display live tv to the TV. However there is obviously no
overlay.
I am at a loss as to what am I doing wrong.
Any sort of direction at this point is welcome.
thanks.
