All right. Lirc works. fb works. (I think) and tv-out works.  I can wait
for tuner.o for a while.

How do I keep ivtv-fb from eating my consoles?  I found that
"video=vc:64-64" thing that I am supposed to place in the grub.conf
file.

Unfortunately that file does not exist, I am not sure where to place it
and how to reconfigure grub to use it.

Thanks.


A possible reason for grub.conf not existing is that the /boot partition isn't mounted.
Most distro's these days place boot in it's own partition (helps deal with various issues) and some don't automount it, as a security precaution.

Check to see if you have any files in boot
ls /boot

check your mount table
mount

and your fdisk tables
fdisk -l <-- that's a lowercase L

you can mount boot with
mount <disk-device> /boot

where <disk-device> is the boot partition from fdisk.

The other likely reason would be that your system's using Lilo, that should become evident from the ls -l /boot command.

If you have any problems, then post the output of the above commands.

Ant.
