[mythtv-users] ivtv drivers and Mandrake 9.1

         Hello. I am trying to get the ivtv drivers to run under Mandrake 
9.1 so that I can use my Hauppauge PVRF-350 with MythTV.

         I took a look at the ivtv FAQ and it only has driver build/install 
instructions for Red Hat 9.0. Does anyone know what is required to build 
and install the drivers for Mandrake 9.1?

         I am running a Hauppauge PVR-350 on a VIA C3 running Mandrake 9.1. 
I have extracted the firmware successfully although I am not certain which 
encoder I should be using as it found more than one (I grabbed the first). 
I then ran the make and then the "make install" with all seeming to go 
okay. lspci shows the device as being there (output below) but it does not 
appear to be accessible via /dev/video0.

         Any thoughts?

         And a "ls -l /dev/vid*" shows the following.
