Hi Mark,
See if this helps (guess what I just spent a weekend doing ;o) ...
AKA what I needed to do to get MythTV working ....
System:
Dell Dimension 2.4GHz Celeron
Hauppauge PVR-350 (PAL)
Fedora Core 4 (2.6.15-1.1833_FC4)
MythTV 0.19
512MB RAM
160GB ATA133 HDD
Main Section:
I followed Jarod's howto at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php as far
as possible. Then the tricky part - how to get X working using the PVR-350 ?
Changes then appear from Jarod's instructions ....
First off - make sure ssh is working and use it from another machine. It
will save you a lot of time. When you load the ivtv-fb module later it
WILL crash your local monitor view (certainly did mine) but FC4 is still
going underneath.
....
yum install ivtv-firmware ivtv-firmware-audio
yum install ivtv-kmdl-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4
(I initially tried this for ivtv-kmdl-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 as this was my
kernel version but there wasn't a version for 1831 on the website.
Vhanging it to 1833 also caused yum to upgrade the kernel ;o)
yum install ivtv
Install the ivtvdev_drv.o (PVR framebuffer driver) from
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/xdriver/0.10.6/ivtvdev_drv.o.bz2, unpack it and
copy the file ivtvdev_drv.o into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/. Then
chmod 444 /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.o
Then to set up the video config. Here's my working versions ...
/etc/modprobe.conf:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
lirc_i2c
/etc/rc.local:
VIDEO_OUT="/dev/video16"
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d $VIDEO_OUT -c aspect=2 > /dev/null #
aspect ratio 4:3
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d $VIDEO_OUT -c audio=0 > /dev/null #
40 kHz, stereo
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d $VIDEO_OUT -c framerate=1 > /dev/null # PAL
/usr/bin/ivtvctl -d $VIDEO_OUT --set-standard=0x0000ff > /dev/null # PAL

/dev/null # PAL

Other things maybe worth mentioning ....
After scanning for channels I found I had a load of poor reception
channels but didn't know which were which as they're all identified as
"unknown". So to know which channel number you're atually tuned to in
mythfrontend, make sure you have web access running and go to
http://IP_OF_MYTHTV:6544
It will tell you which channel ID it's tuned to.
Once I'd identified the duff channels I deleted them using sql
statements (see http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.9)
The default device for decoding is /dev/video0 for me and you set it up
under Tuner0 (don;t know what all the composites etc are for)
Playback device is /dev/video16. Make sure both are writeable by the
mythtv user.
