If you can't succesfully modprobe ivtv-fb then you won't be able to run X until that is sorted. What version of ivtv are you using? Post the relevant part of the messages file for the modprobe and we might be able to work out what is wrong there.
Prior to running X you can use ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -prepdma to test that you can write to the framebuffer. John --- Ryan Kremser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello I can't start x with my pvr 350.
