Thanks guys. I downloaded the trunk, compiled, copied the driver to the proper directory, and it worked. But as you guys say, I get the initialization error when trying to play a video in mythtv. I originally tried xv when I made the system but the computer is just slightly crappy enough that you can notice in video playback. I think I'll have to try the patch, but compiling mythtv sounds painful. I'm trying to set up QT, i did yum install qt, and it gave me qt-3.3 but there is no qmake in the directory. The mythtv compiling instructions say nothing about if you don't have QT already installed, and google is basically silent about it. I know this is the ivtv list, but some of you may have ran into this. thx
