Hello, I am also having some trouble getting my pvr-500 working, in a similar setup, so I was hoping someone here would have an idea where to go. I have a pvr-500 in an asus pundit, running kernel linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10, and ivtv version 0.3.9. At this point, when I try to do a test capture from /dev/video0 or 1, It chugs away without error, but the result is a zero-byte file. Does someone have a working gentoo .config I could take a look at to rule out a kernel config issue? I am a little hazy on what has to be made a module in the v4l, and i2c sections. Thanks in advance, Claude
