[mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV out partial succes; no X11 yet.

[Hugo van der Kooij]

Hi,

I got TVout working for plain video. (dd if/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16
does the job to send the TV program to the SCART plug including
audio.)

Starting ivtv-fb does not work well:

[root at saruman X11]# modprobe ivtv-fb
Segmentation fault
[root at saruman X11]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ivtv_fb                22847  2
bttv                  150413  0

The module is loaded but the TV just goes black. And why the segmentation
fault occurs is anyone's guess.

I loose the ability to shutdown the system alltogether as soon as the
ivtv-fb module is loaded. (Ending in fsck's at system boot.)

The system is FC3 with most of the latest patches:

kernel: 2.6.9-1.724_FC3
ivtv: 0.2.0-58_rc3c.rhfc3.at
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.9-1.724_FC3-0.1.10-48.4_pre2_ck100zz.rhfc3.at
