Use the ivtv-fb from the ivtv subversion repository. It's not yet in the
kernel. I really need to spend some time on this as well, but it is
complicated because ivtv-fb really is part of the framebuffer
subsystem, not of v4l-dvb.

Use the '-mm' kernel series: the latest has ivtv in it.
But it should also be possible to use v4l-dvb and ivtv-fb from the ivtv
trunk. The unresolved symbol problem you had was not about unresolved
symbols but about versioning issues. If you compile the kernel
yourself, I recommend turning off module versioning. You can also
bypass version checks using 'modprobe -f' if I am not mistaken.
I will try to create some conversion guide this weekend, but no
guarantees.
