Thank for your help - you have got me going in the correct direction. The log in now comes up on the screen and I can log in but the picture behaves very speradically. It jumps on and off as it loads things and just about when it is done with the startup proceedures it goes black.
I am not clear on one of your suggestions. Here is a portion of a copy of the original xorg.conf as suggested by Jarod: Section "Device" Identifier "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer" Driver "ivtvdev" #Driver "fbdev" ### change fb0 to whatever your card grabbed Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0" ### change the BusID to whatever is reported by lspci, specify it as hex. BusID "0:0x14:0" EndSection I then change it to the correct BusID and fb settings so mine looks like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer" Driver "ivtvdev" #Driver "fbdev" ### change fb0 to whatever your card grabbed Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1" ### change the BusID to whatever is reported by lspci, specify it as hex. BusID "0:0x12:0" EndSection The suggestion of yours that I am not following is: > I also had to change > preceding device on that from 'fbdev' to 'ivtv' > If you could show me what exactly you mean from the conf files above I would really appreciate it.
