Well, It all seems to be working! (more or less) Because I'm on FC6, I had to recompile the X driver (SVN version compiles against the modular Xorg 7.1 ok) , which I had to use --prefix=/usr for configure to get it to install in the proper place for FC6.
I had to recompile mythtv (from SVN) along with a patch for PPC w/o altivec (configure options --prefix=/usr --disable-altivec --enable-xvmc): from Eric Gilbert > Take a look at my partial writeup on the > Kuro Wiki http://www.kurobox.com/mwiki/index.php/Mythtv to get a patch > for the .20-fixes branch.

Now I get (mostly) everything working, except for the X has messed-up colors related to endian issues (what patches are out there for the latest ivtv_xdriver?). My machine is only a 300MHz G3 (ppc750), but it can record a single channel without much cpu load. I'm getting some pauses during playback, but those may be related to other system settings. Cool!
