Of course it doesn't work. The ivtv drivers in the mandriva kernel are old and unmaintained. I (as a mandriva contributor) cannot remove them from the kernel, and the kernel maintainer refuses to remove them, or maintain them. See: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13149 Please install the dkms-ivtv-stable package for kernel drivers that should work. regards, Stefan > Through either contrib or PLF, > I forget which, there are RPMs available for both the ivtv firmware and > an "ivtv-stable" package.
