Hello folks,

New to the list, and I hope you can help.

I have recently built a spanking gorgeous MythTV box. Inside it is a
Nova-T (the new version which requires the cx88 driver) and a PVR-350
which obviously uses the glorius ivtv. I first installed the PVR-350
as per the instructions and then I later added the Nova-T which uses
the cx88 driver from my 2.2.12-9 kernel on my Ubuntu Breezy box.

Anyway, when I added the Nova-T, it threw a load of errors such as:

[4294695.684000] cx88xx: disagrees about version of symbol
tveeprom_hauppauge_analog
[4294695.684000] cx88xx: Unknown symbol tveeprom_hauppauge_analog
[4294695.685000] cx8800: Unknown symbol cx88_reset
[4294695.685000] cx8800: Unknown symbol cx88_call_i2c_clients

After some googling and discussion on #mythtv-users, it seems that the
reason for this fault is that the tveeprom.ko module that I compiled
in ivtv that replaces the kernel version, is incompatible when using
the cx88 driver. I was also told that the ivtv tveeprom driver
actually doesnt do anything different for the PVR-350, and using the
stock kernel tveeprom just drive both the cards just fine.

With a skip in my step I reverted to the kernel tveeprom driver, and
from the boot messages it seemed that both the DVB and PVR-350 cards
loaded fine. I tried the DVB card and it seemed to work fine (albeit
if a little out of sync with the sound), but the PVR-350 gave no
output.

Digging a bit deeper it seemed that /dev/video0 was assigned to the
cx88 driver, but there was no report in /var/log/messages that
/dev/video1 was assigned to the ivtv driver. To test both video0 and
video1 I run:

  cat /dev/video[number] > foo.mpg

>From /dev/video1 I got some static displayed.

So my question is:

 - Is there a simple fix to solve this problem? I have tried renaming
the ivtv module tveeprom-ivtv and also tried a tveeprom-ivtv module
alias, but this didnt work.

 - I have heard that this is all resolved with ivtv 0.4.1 and kernel
2.6.14 and later. Is this true, and if so, could someone explain to me
how this is resolved? Will I need two tveeprom version, and if not,
which one do I need - the ivtv or kernel one?

I hope someone can help me out - this is driving me crazy!

Thanks for your time folks,

  Jono
