Here is what *I* have in my i386 modprobe.conf for ivtv: > # ivtv modules setup > alias char-major-81 videodev > alias char-major-81-0 ivtv > install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb (OK, the last line is because I'm loading a framebuffer for TV-out. I'm not using it yet, but I'm loading it, and it loads the ivtv-fb module for me as well.) I know it works when "mplayer /dev/video" works for me. You *might* have to select a valid channel first with "ivtvctl -c channelnumber". You might also want to make sure that you've enabled the proper tuner type (NTSC/PAL) and a few more things. See the ivtvctl man page for lots of good info. Have you read the (old) MythTV HOWTO (at: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php )for its ivtv info? Take with a grain of salt since some things have changed, but it was enough to help get my configuration working for me. Be sure to read section 10 on capture cards. There is a whole subsection on ivtv based cards. Also, look at your /var/log/messages file, a capture of the stuff between: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== and: ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== is helpful to know when you decide that it isn't working right! Just because the modules are loaded, doesn't mean its working. You could be having 2.6.17 issues, as Axel mentioned. -- Kevin J.
