[mythtv-users] PVR350, ivtvdev_drv, ckennedy drivers and cant use framebuffer

[Bill Chmura]

Okay I had the wrong driver specified for the latter example... ivtvdev_drv 
instead of ivtvdev.  That now allows me to bring up the TV (although the 
refresh is very slow) or the normal monitor.  If I try to bring up both - it 
does that and then locks the system.  

There are no errors, nothing... just whack bam and its done for.
