Henry,
I'm currently using ivtv-0.10.0 on PPC and it works very well!
0.10.0 is the first version of ivtv to fully support PPC (DMA, fb,
and all).
The xdriver binary on the wiki was compiled for Xorg 6.9, and I
believe FC6 has the modular Xorg so you'll need to recompile the
xdriver. Unfortunately the new xdriver sources that John Harvey
released does not have the Big-Endian patches necessary for a normal
color scheme, so maybe I can go through the big-endian patches and
fix up the new xdriver. But the only last problem with that is
MythTV's PVR-350 output - myth writes directly to the framebuffer so
the colors are messed up and its a bit quirky. But you can use MythTV
on the TV-out with the right version of the xdriver and XV and it
will work perfectly.
Your driver problems could be due to a few things:
1) Is the cx2341x module getting loaded (lsmod to check)
2) Is /dev/fb1 actually your PVR-350? ls /dev/fb/ and check what
you've got.
Personally, I like Slackintosh as my linux distribution of choice for
PPC. Just my two cents :-D.
