I am using a Hauppage 350 on SuSE 10.0. The documentation is for driver 2.0 earlier. I am still trying to figure out how to compile the 4.0 ivtvdev driver. The binary isn't working correctly. And trying to compile the ivtvdev driver from source complains about /PATH_TO_SOURCE/ but it doesn't explain to what source it is looking for. Source to the Kernel? Source to the Xserver source?? And if it is the xserver source, what rpm do I need to load? Can't the ivtvdev team just come up with binary packages for the different distros like everybody else?? > The documentation on the old wiki still references very old ivtv > drivers, I'm sure a lot of work isn't required. > > Could someone who has a PVR350 update the new wiki? > > http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:TV_out&action=edit > > There's a few other PVR350 specific things that need adding too if > anyone is game: > > http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:xdriver > http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:Framebuffer > http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php?title=Howto:TV_passthrough > > Thanks, > > Ross > > On 12/13/05, Erwan Arzur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hey, > > > > i've been trying both options (NVidia TV-OUT and the PVR-350), and the > > PVR is indeed of > > much better quality. > > > > I would not advise anyone to drop it in favor of any card TV-OUT.
