Hi Larry. I don't think this was neccessary because you are using a PVR-500. You are right in that it's only for PVR-350 users who are using TV-OUT. The purpose is to get IVTV loaded soon enough that you can see the machine boot up ( rhgb, log in, etc ). It's not a requirement. In fact, I don't use it anymore. It's just nice to have. ( I'll probably wind up putting it back in to mine ). It's been a while, but do you need the following lines in modprobe.conf? install tveeprom /sbin/modprobe tveeprom install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c I'm not using ivtv_4.0 yet so I don't know if this was changed. -Tim _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
