I've got signs of life!! uh... but not much else. > 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 but I've no idea what videodev is. AtRPM's doesn't seem to carry a
64bit version of this.

OK, refresh my memory please. What is a framebuffer and why would you
use one?

Are you sure the syntax is correct for "ivtvctl -c channelnumber" above?
I get the usage when I do "ivtvctl -c 2" for example.
Aha! Perhaps you meant:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ivtv-tune -c 2
/dev/video0: 55.250 MHz
mplayer produced a snow storm but it did seem to change a bit depending
on which channel I was on. mplayer output is at the end of this email.

No can do unless I can find it online:
