Is this for PAL or NTSC?
Sounds like you may be needing PAL but it's configured
for NTSC?
I'm not sure what version of ivtv you are using but
assuming it's recent then you can try adding the
ivtv_std paramanter to the options to force the
setting (ivtv_std=2 for pal). Note this is from memory since i'm at work but i think
that is the correct parameter name.

John, I'm using PAL, or rather should do. I use ivtv version 0.2.0 (rc3j).
In my modprobe.conf I have these ivtv parameters:
options ivtv ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0

So I guess this ought to do the trick, unless for some reason this line is not activated. But you might be right, as the ivtv init output (entire output shown at the end of this reply) first says:

but then at the very bottom:

I have not been able to find others with this problem with this flickering test image. Normally people either have a blank screen or it just works :(

As it has worked for me before, I know the card is o.k., the cabling also o.k., and the modprobe.conf identical and also the xorg.conf likewise (presently I am testing with a VGA output xorg.conf though).
