Couple of tips: The ivtv version should be listed when the module loads - check dmesg | grep ivtv
Depending on your OS (didn't notice it listed) you can query your package manager to see whats installed (for example in Fedora you could do rpm -qa | grep ivtv or rpm -qa | grep video4linux) You can also do modinfo ivtv or modinfo cx25840 for example To turn on ivtv debug you pass an option when you load the module ivtv_debug=xxx - Let us know more about your setup and we can help.

I am running ivtv 0.3.6g right now on my Myth system, and am considering an upgrade to the latest revisions to see if that helps me with a memory issue. I'll post that exact memory problem in my next message, but in an effort to get y'all the most information, I wanted to pose some initial questions, some of the "Linux Newbie" variety, some of the "ivtv-specific" variety - 1) How can I determine what version of various ivtv components are running? An earlier problem of mine was solved when I re-compiled and installed after not having the correct ivtvdev.o file. Is there a magic Linux command like "version ivtv*" that will tell me if I've got 0.3.6g of this component, 0.1.9 of that component? I just don't know. 2) Related, how does one ensure that one has backed up all of the current components before installing a newer version? I know where ivtvdev.o lives, but what of the other files? You know, in case I need to roll back. 3) How do I turn on debug mode to get y'all the most information possible regarding my memory problem? Scratch that, I'll search the web for this as I realized that I haven't done that yet and don't want to appear a slackbastard ;-) Thanks, and allow me to say that this is an awesome project - I get tired doing database programming, I can't imagine touching something like device drivers and the like.
