I have a PVR-350 and video capture is working fine with ivtv-0.2.0-rc3k
drivers.

However, when I use the dd command to test tv-out like the install docs
describe I don't see any change on the composite output, just a black screen.

I have a few questions:

a) How do I know which /dev/video devices the drivers grabbed for input and
   output? I found the input device by trial and error, it's /dev/video2. But
   /dev/video18 gives an i/o error. /dev/video16 seems to work but no output
   is generated. It's possible it's the wrong device but it would be nice if
   the driver just told me which device it allocated when it loaded like other
   video grabber drivers.

b) How do I do the test_image feature that the docs describe. When I try it I
   get "saa7127: Unknown parameter `test_image'" I assume these docs are just
   out of date and refer to 0.1 drivers? But ivtvctl doesn't seem to have an
   equivalent option.

c) Where do I find ivtv-fb? All the docs seem to imply it should be built and
   installed along with the rest of the drivers. But there's no such file in
   the drivers directory. Where is it supposed to come from?
