James, I too am using Gentoo with a 350 and hd3000, and am not experiencing this issue. Here is my working setup. vanilla kernel 2.6.12 ivtv-0.2.0-rc3k not from portage. System is up to date with all the ebuilds as of this morning, I sync and build every weekend. I am using x86 ebuilds with the exception of the following in my package.keywords media-tv/myth-svn media-tv/mythtv-svn media-plugins/mythvideo-svn media-plugins/mythdvd-svn media-plugins/mythmusic-svn media-plugins/mythweather-svn media-plugins/mythbrowser-svn media-plugins/mythgallery-svn media-plugins/mythphone-svn media-plugins/mythnews-svn media-plugins/mythgame-svn www-apps/mythweb-svn x11-themes/mythtv-themes-svn media-tv/nuvexport-svn dev-perl/SOAP-Lite #media-sound/alsa-utils media-video/nvidia-kernel media-video/nvidia-glx app-misc/lirc sys-apps/pciutils #net-misc/vnc media-video/transcode media-libs/libquicktime media-video/ffmpeg media-tv/nuvexport x11-base/opengl-update media-video/dvb-apps media-libs/a52dec media-tv/linuxtv-dvb media-video/lve media-tv/nuvexport-cvs media-tv/myththemes-cvs media-libs/faad2 media-video/dvb-apps-cvs sys-kernel/vanilla-sources media-gfx/splashutils sys-apps/sandbox sys-apps/portage media-video/mplayer I have been working with this setup since Dec of last year without any problems, even with my constant updating. Also I have always used the CVS/SVN sources for myth and not the builds in portage.
