[mythtv-users] X over PVR-350 TV-Out on FC3

[John Harvey]

Just to clear up a few things here.
0.7 driver was broken it needs both

	option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
	option "ivtv" "/dev/fb1"

to work. This is fixed in the 0.8 driver posted to the ivtv-dev mailing
list.
I have just posted a fix the the ivtv-dev mailing list for the issue that
requires the 

dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16

to be done before starting X. This problem is something to do with using
udev and is not specific to FC3.

Hopefully with both of these patches it should be possible to get a system
working without any of those ivtvctl commands.

If you still have problems post them on the ivtv-dev mailing list and I have
some code that has extra debugging in it which should allow us to work out
what the issues are.
