[mythtv-users] Problem when using pvr-350 tv-out

Sat Nov 15 17:30:47 EST 2003

I'm getting this too now.  I get a black screen when I try to go to live tv.  Even with the output turned on or off for PVR 350 in MythTv.  Anybody have any ideas?

Finally after a total system reload and again using Jarod's atrpms guide, I
got the ivtv-fb to compile and load.

Now the new problem. First, not doing anything to XF86Config I'm able to
run mythfrontend just fine. Watch live tv, record, watch a recording,
everything works. So now I decide to configure X. I inserted as per
ivtv-fb.h. Then I restart X and I have my desktop on the tv. WOOOO HOOOO!!!

So, next step, I run export DISPLAY=:0.1 and then mythfrontend. I see
mythtv on my tv. Another WOOO HOOO!
So I proceed to watch live tv. I get a black screen. On the pc monitor in
the term window I see a message that repeats, waiting too long .... I can't
remember the rest, sorry.

Here is my XF86Config if you can look at it and tell me if I have anything
wrong or missing. I assume the problem is here. Oh yeah, I'm using RH9, KDE
and the kernel from ATrpms.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
