What happens when you comment out the TV_IVTV_OPTIONS settings? Is everything fine? What settings do you want to change from the defaults? I assume that SuSE 10.0 uses kernel 2.6.15 or lower, is this correct? There is a debug mode for Freevo's ivtv interface which is run by typing: freevo execute /path/to/ivtv.py it may show you something but it may need tweaking first.
