I can't get the TV-OUT on my PVR-350 to work, or get the ivtv X.org driver to come up. I'm using Axel Thimm's RPMS for Fedora Core 4.

Mythtv runs fine, but with its output going to the monitor. I'm trying to send the video output through TV-OUT, but:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] X11]# ivtvctl --set-input 4
ioctl VIDIOC_S_INPUT ok
Video input set to 4
[EMAIL PROTECTED] X11]# ivtvctl --set-output 1
ioctl VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT ok
Output set to 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] X11]# ivtvctl -K 1
ioctl IVTV_IOC_PASSTHROUGH ok

No errors, but I'm not getting any signal on TV-OUT. Input 4 is correct (Tuner 0, same as MythTV). Output 1 is listed as "composite output", and I've connected the composite cables from the TV-OUT jacks to a VCR, and the VCR's TV-out to TV, using the VCR's built-in tuner to put the composite output onto channel 3. No signal, white snow.

I've also tried to get the X driver to use the TV-OUT framebuffer. My lspci shows:

00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
       Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350
       Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
       Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
       Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

In xorg.conf, I have:

Section "Device"
       Identifier "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
       Driver "ivtvdev"
       Option  "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
       BusID  "PCI:00:0b.0"
EndSection

I've also tried using decimal, instead of hexadecimal "PCI:00:11.0". I also tried BusID "0:0x0b.0", as per http://www.pvrweb.com/bbs/index.php?s=8f49557f7c23b02c2203b36a2f228d88&showtopic=4790&pid=17184&st=0&#entry17184

And finally I removed the BusID setting altogether, after browsing through ivtv's driver code, and seeing that it autoprobes the PCI chipsets. It looks like my chipsets match what the driver is expecting:

(II) PCI: 00:0b:0: chip 4444,0803 card 0070,4000 rev 01 class 04,00,00 hdr 00

But, X still fails to start, no matter what:

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(WW) ivtvdev: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:11:0) found

No matter what I specify, the error message always refers to "PCI:0:11:0".

My /proc/fb shows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# cat /proc/fb
0 VESA VGA
1 cx23415 TV out

So, I'm fairly certain /dev/fb1 is the right framebuffer device.
