Hi Kim, I do not think so. There are some explicit steps in Wilsons Howto to force the PVR-350 on /dev/fb1 and actually the system manages to display the X cursor on the TV before the session freezes.
In the mean time I have installed FC2, but without luck. I did not manage to make X run here either and now I could not even tune the PVR-350 to receive anything. Now I am installing FC3 again and I have ordered a nVidia FX 5200 to use for output. But thanks for the advices Niels Dybdahl -----Original Message----- From: Kim Bisgaard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23. januar 2005 16:57 To: ivtv-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Ivtv-users] Can almost start X on PVR-350 Hi Niels, I would say that when you have this in modprobe.conf: <>alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 bttv Then in xorg.conf should read: Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0" and not: Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1" Good luck, Kim.
