Ok as I understand it, you need to start ivtv and lirc before you start mythbackend. First though, you need to load the modules. I got this from http://wilson-stowe.com/family/mythtv/installguide#AutomaticallyStartingeverythingonBootUp
You need two scripts. You must be root. 1) First create a script named ivtv in /etc/init.d/ -------------- # modprobe v4l1-compat # if not compiled into the kernel modprobe ivtv # use the following if you use TV-Out on PVR350 modprobe ivtv-fb -------------- 2) Change the permissions to allow to run by anyone: chmod +x /etc/init.d/ivtv 3) Now you have to get it to load but scripts have a hierarchy. Lower numbers have higher priority. Get a listing of your /etc/rc2.d directory: cd /etc/rc2.d ls You're going to see a lot links in this directory. Those links that start with "K" are not running at this run level . Those starting with "S" are running. Note the number that mythbackend runs. You need to create a symbolic link but a number lower than mythbackend. For me I had to get it lower than 86. ln -s /etc/init.d/ivtv S84ivtv Now do the same in rc5.d. I'm not sure if this is necessary but I wanted to be sure because rc5 is X. cd /etc/rc5.d ln -s /etc/init.d/ivtv S84ivtv 4) Now do the same for lirc. I'm not sure how this will work since you haven't gotten lirc to work yet, but once you do, you'll need it. First the script for /etc/init.d/lirc : -------- #setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none modprobe lirc_i2c -------- Make it executable: chmod +x /etc/init.d/lirc 5) Now create links in the different rc levels. Again same rule on the priority level. cd /etc/rc2.d ln -s /etc/init.d/lirc S85lirc cd /etc/rc5.d ln -s /etc/init.d/lirc S85lirc I don't know what the effect of having done the changed the ramdisk. Maybe nothing. Hopefully this helps. --- Ronald Kohsman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is it too much trouble to get copy of your scripts > and little help? > > Did you put modprobe stuff? > > I really appreciate the help. > > -r > > -----Original Message----- > From: Minh Duong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 11:59 PM > To: Ronald Kohsman > Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] Sound PVR-350 > > Ronald, > > You're still having problems with X on TV Out?
