I've searched logs and googled with what I have but I'll be damned if I can
work out what I am doing wrong.

There doesn't seem to be any file called modules.txt in the package I have.
>From various forums and mail logs I gather that the tuner type for PAL is 5.
I've tried this but the above errors are what I get.

I added the ivtv_debug=3 as suggested and will now copy conf and log files
to the usual URL in case you have a moment to take a look.

Would you mind sharing your modules.conf and XF86Config with me (presumably
you have the X on framebuffer working).

I seriously do not remember being this frustrated with something for a long
time. Granted I'm not a Linux guru but damn this is annoying!

I hereby promise to write an addendum for Jarod or some sort of mini how-to
for PAL / Framebuffer / PVR x50 rigs once we get this up and running.


Regards
Marty

I forgot to mention your tuner type is not correct. Look at the
modules.txt file in the doc directory of the source code for the ivtv
driver and you will see 2 is for NTSC.
