Hi Patrick Many thanks for the reply. the Dmesg output is below. The udev stuff came from the following http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto, along with the module's stuff not sure which bits to remove now, i might remove the card, delete the Yast stuff and start again.
I am wondering if the problem is caused by having an analog tuner in the USB DVB as well as the PVR-250. How do you reference the video stream from your pvr-250 '/dev/video1' ? ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 1.0.0 (2.6.22.17-0.1-default SMP mod_unload ) loading ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (376836 bytes) ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 ivtv i2c driver #0: Test OK tuner 2-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) Modules linked in: xc3028_tuner tvp5150 tuner ivtv firmware_class i2c_algo_bit rtc_cmos cx2341x rtc_core em28xx compat_ioctl32 ir_common tveeprom videodev v4l2_common v4l1_compat snd_usb_audio sr_mod snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc snd_usb_lib snd_rawmidi i2c_i801 snd_seq_device snd_hwdep snd floppy cdrom rtc_lib i2c_core iTCO_wdt parport_pc parport iTCO_vendor_support soundcore tg3 button sg usbhid hid ff_memless sd_mod ehci_hcd uhci_hcd usbcore edd ext3 mbcache jbd fan ata_piix ahci libata scsi_mod thermal processor [<ffffffff88326c99>] :ivtv:ivtv_probe+0xb9f/0x139e [<ffffffff88325ffb>] :ivtv:module_start+0x99/0xc4 On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 6:30 AM, Patrick Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your IVTV INIT message block is a bit brief.
