[mythtv-users] Video Out Errors Version 20.2 and kernel 2.6.22

Hi,

I am using a PVR 350 on Mandriva 2008 with a 64 bit box and the 2.6.22
kernel.  IVTV appears to load fine and I am able to capture and view video
outside of Myth.  I have attempted two card selection options in
mythtv-setup: the first is the intended MPEG-2 cature card option for
PVR-X50.  This choice seems to select okay but when I start the frontend
and attempt to view live TV I get an error when trying to connect to the
video device.  If I try the V4L card default option, everything seems
fine, but then on a live TV attempt the screen just goes black for 30s or
so and then nothing.  Here is a copy of the IVTV section of dmesg as well
as some of the logging from the backend.  Any thoughts?

Note that I have been fighting to get Myth up on this box for almost a
year now, as my previous attempt involved Mandriva 2007 with the 2.6.17
kernel which had major issues with IVTV.  I am REALLY hoping that this one
will be an easy fix.
