[mythtv-users] pvr-350 ivtv test_capture.mpg

[Michael Fenston]

Hello,

I tried installing the kernel-module-video4linux-2.6.8-1.521 from within
Synaptic (after changing to at-bleeding) but got the error below.  Should I
install the kernel-module-video4linux-2.6.8-1.541_10.rhfc2.at instead along
with the "bleeding" kernel#2.6.8-1.541-10.rhfc2.at?  I think if I do this
then the alsa and lirc kernel module stuff would also need to be updated?  I
have a Athlon 2600+ processor so I assume I shouldn't be getting the smp
versions?  Any help appreciated.
