I have FC2 up and running with my pvr-350, in fact I got it to finally work this morning! I found that I had to manually load up stuff. 

So I did the following before switching over to this xorg.conf file (I have a pre-350 file that I use, so I can use my monitor).

/sbin/modprobe ivtv
/sbin/modprobe ivtv_fb

I had to grab the ivtvdev driver, so if you don't have that you will need that as well.

Once I had that stuff loaded, I switched over to the other xorg.conf file and restarted x. Now I am not saying that's the best way, but it worked for me :)

Here is my modprobe.conf and xorg.conf files.

modprobe.conf

alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci
install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-cmipci && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-cmipci { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-cmipci
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6111
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
