[mythtv-users] Re: problems with ivtv and fc2 following Jarod's guide

I am still having issues.  I tried upgrading to the 541 kernel and
modules and everything installs fine and I can do a test capture by
doing a cat /dev/video0 > testfile.mpg.  But everytime I try to watch
a live tv I get a black screen and X freezes.  When I ssh to the
machine I see that X is taking all the CPU.  Have any idea as to what
is going on?  Please let me know what other information I can provide
to help.

Thanks!
Jason

> I tried a number of hours ago.  I just tried again, and upgraded to the 541 kernel.  I loaded ivtv and the two kernel_modules just fine.  Appears to be loading with no issues now.  I'll play with it and let you know how it's going in a few hours.
