Well, I tested the ivtvfbctl command on my machine, and it hangs for me as well. Perhaps there is some endian-related bug in ivtvfbctl?
I think you should just proceed on with setting up MythTV. Can you at least capture from the card? ( dd if=/dev/video0 of=bla.mpg ). If so, try using utils/v4l2-ctl to set your input to Tuner, use utils/ perl/ptune to set the channel, and try that dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/ video16 again. If not, there could be something wrong with the card itself. If you've got a windows machine lying around try it out with the official Hauppauge drivers and make sure you've got a working card. I am using a Mac MDD "windtunnel" G4 that I silenced like the xlr8yourmac articles (MAN was this thing loud before!), with the following kernel: Linux tube 2.6.19.2 #6 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 22 22:21:12 EST 2007 ppc GNU/Linux - Rick On Feb 22, 2007, at 8:43 PM, Mailing list account wrote: > On Thu, 2007-02-22 at 13:57 -0500, Ricardo Lugo wrote: >> 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.
