Can you post your complete Xorg.conf file that you are using. I cant see
anything obviously different from my setup at the moment other than the list
of extensions loaded.

> Hi,
> Over break I decided to rebuild my myth system to use LVM.  The previous

> april or so.  Everything worked really well, including using the video out
> from the PVR350 via Xwindows (Xfree 4.3).  As a result, I'm pretty
> confident of my hardware, since this ran for months
> 
> I've rebaselined my box, using gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-r9, and Xorg
> 6.8.0-r3, and udev.  I am using the ivtv-0.2.0-rc3c downloaded from Chris
> Kennedy's site (not using the ebuild in gentoo portage).  Everything works
> really well, ie I can capture video and play it back with mplayer, I can
> get the test image using saa7127 test_image=1 on the tvout (composite and
> svideo out) and I get great tvout if I load the ivtv_fb while in KDE
> 3.3.1like so (from the ivtv.sourceforge.net wiki pages):
> /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -u 0x3000 -p 4
> ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -noglobalalpha -localalpha
> ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -globalalpha -nolocalalpha -alpha 0

> The issue that I am having is when I try to start using the pvr video out
