John, I tried to keep the modprobe.conf simple:
-------------------------------- #ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv #install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c ------------------------------ I have made some progress. I tried to run X through the TV out to get more information. That failed as expected. But from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it said that ivtvdev module could not be found. So I installed ivtvdev-0.8-1.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm. Now the black and white pattern is replaced by a solid green screen. Still no video but at least it's something. Searching on the web, it was suggested that the issue might be that I have a newer model than 990 and I would have to use saa7129 instead of saa7127. I tried changing the registers using ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa -d /dev/video16 but that didn't work. I haven't been able to find how to determine my model. --- John Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Make sure you don't have any strange old parameters > in modprobe.conf.
