[mythtv-users] Console problem with ivtv-fb

[David A. Parker]

Hello,

I have had this problem on my MythTV box since the very beginning.  As 
soon as the ivtv-fb driver loads during boot, the console stops 
responding (no input or output at all), and this problem affects all 
virtual terminals as well.  I can log in to the box remotely and do 
whatever I need to do, but sometimes it would be easier if I could just 
use the console when I am sitting right in front of it.  I tried adding 
the following line to the boot options in grub per instructions I found 
during a Google search, but it did not help:

# kopt=video=vc:64-64

This was supposed to move virtual console 64 onto the framebuffer, but 
like I said, it did not solve my particular problem.  Does anyone have 
this problem?  Any ideas?

     Thanks!
     Dave
