 Just a quick update. I think i understand the problem
 though i couldn't reproduce it with my 2.6.9 or 2.6.10
 kernels but that is probably down to kernel
 configuration. 
 Anyway looking at the stack trace there are call being
 maded to functions in the fb_ops structure that we
 dont initialise and they arent checked for NULL. So we
 just need to fill the function table out a bit more.
 I'll search tonight for any unchecked calls and add
 them to the table and check to make sure it will build
 with older kernels. So i should be able to get a patch
 out later tonight.
 

I'll be glad to serve as a crazy, FC3 usin' nutjob to volunteer for
patch test duty.  Stability is for weenies.  ;)

Tim

 Have you tried adding vide:vc:0-0 to your boot
 configuration? There are some notes in the top of
 ivtv-osd.c under the heading A note on unloading the
 fb driver.

Sorry it took me awhile to get to this, but I did try this with no
luck (and I did make sure my vc correlated with fb0).  Maybe I missed
something?

[ivtv-devel] ivtv-fb console takeover (SOLVED)

2004-12-17 Thread Tim Fenn
I was able to figure out a workaround for the console being taken over
by ivtv-fb, thanks to a pointer from David Smith.

Just adding vga=792 to the kernel options (in FC3, I also removed the
rhgb option) forces ivtv-fb to use fb1, and leaves fb0 alone.

Hope this saves people some headaches.

Regards,
Tim

   Is scattered throughout the logs, may have something
  to do with that..
  
 Also which version of the X driver are you using (or attach X log files if
 you are not sure). This should be fixed by all the current X drivers.
 

I get similar errors using ivtv 0.3.2 and ivtvdev_drv 0.7 on a PVR
350.  Errors pop up when starting X - however, this is on FC3, which
seems to have a few issues due to the newer kernel and X.Org 6.8.1.
Things work fine otherwise (video capture, tv-out via dd, etc).  Let
me know if logs/higher debugging levels would help.

[ivtv-devel] xdriver 0.8 error

2005-01-15 Thread Tim Fenn
For reasons I haven't figured out, X.org no longer starts up using the
tv-out on the pvr350 and version 0.8 of ivtvdev_drv.o.  At some point
last night, the screen locked up and can't be brought back to life,
even after a cold boot.  I've attached the xorg.0.log, but it seems
the culprit is:

(EE) IVTVDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
(EE) IVTVDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument
(==) IVTVDEV(0): Backing store disabled

although this error has never popped up before.  Any clues?

Regards,
Tim

 I did have MythTV working pretty well.  Then I did a big update  to 
 ivtv 0.3.6w, to FC3 version 2.6.11-1.35_FC3, to lirc 0.7.1-46, to 
 mplayer 1.0-45.  I'm running MythTV 0.18.1.
 
 After a couple of problems I could noodle thru myself, I'm stumped on 
 one.  When I watch live TV, it plays for maybe ten seconds and then 
 reverts back to the Myth menu.  If I press a remote control key, it acts 
 the same but reverts (crashes) all the way back to the desktop.
 

I had this problem for awhile, turned out (in my case, anyway) to be
that I was loading the ivtv modules *after* starting the backend,
which caused the sort of problem you're seeing.  Try restarting the
backend once you're sure the ivtv module is loaded.

HTH,
Tim
