I have tried a couple of solutions: 1. I received an email recommending going back to FC2. I tried that, but then neither TV-Out or capture worked.
2. I went back to FC3, bought a nVidia GeForce FX5200, and the output of that worked immediately. The capture still did not work. /var/log/messages indicated that tveeprom was not loaded, so I had to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv Sound did not work either, so I renamed the msp3400 like Wilson describes. That did not do it, so I added the option line from his FC2 guide to modprobe.conf and then sound worked too. I did receive an email recommending applying a patch to make the TV-Out on the PVR-350 work. Maybe somebody else can use that information so, here is the email: ----------- Shortly after I emailed you I finally figured the problem out and got my PVR-350 S-video TV-Out working under X, after lots of trying. (When I emailed before I had the test pattern working, the dd video in/out working, but only the 'X' w/ the lower lines under X.) It turns out that FC3 uses a new udev-type thing which leaves the hardware in a weird state and gives ivtv trouble. John Harvey posted a small patch on 1/9/05 on the ivtv-devel list to fix this (subject '[PATCH] udev/fc3 x not starting patch'). You'll find the details here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/16645?search_string=pat ch%20starting;#16645 I'm not sure if this will fix your problem, but it fixed mine. --------------- BTW I am using ivtv V.0.3.2c from at-testing and kernel 2.6.9-1.724 now.

I have been following Jarod Wilsons MythTV guide for FC3. I have a new PVR-350 (where tda9887=0 is necessary) and I can capture video. My xorg.conf is Jarods modified with the correct PCI-bus id in decimal and with the glx module commented out. When I start the PC, X refuses to start because the framebuffer is missing. I then login, 'modprobe ivtv' and 'startx' and then the session hangs. The TV shows a X cursor in the middle and horizontal gray lines in the lower half of the display. The monitor (connected to a Radeon card) shows a message telling that the X configuration is wrong. I have looked in mailing lists and I am not sure if anyone has made the TV output of the new PVR-350 work. So my questions are now: 1. Has anyone made the TV output of the new PVR-350 work ? 2. Has anyone made it work on FC3 ? 3. Should I try to go back to FC2 instead ? 4. Should I buy a nVidia FX5200 instead ? My xorg.conf can be found on http://niels.dybdahl.dk/public/xorg.conf and my modprobe.conf can be found on http://niels.dybdahl.dk/public/modprobe.conf Best regards Niels Dybdahl ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
