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
