I have searched the archives and googled this topic to no avail.

 

When I select “Watch Live TV” from the main menu…

* the screen goes blank

* sometimes I hear a brief time of audio then it stops

* X consumes 98% of cpu

* the keyboard / mouse is unresponsive

* both backend and front end continue to run.

* I can still ssh in and recover by doing "init 3", "init 5"

Things I have tried.

I have rebooted.

I can view the PVR 150 output with “mplayer –vx vo /dev/video0”

I tried having the video sent to a ext partition instead of the JFS one.

I tried an old version of the video driver.

I follow FedoraMthology website and troubleshooting guides on mythtv and ivtv sites.

 

 

Here are the system specs…

This is a new, never before working system

x86_64 MSI mb

PVR 150 – using cable tuner

GeForce 6200 vid card 24bit x 1024x768

Video is stored on a JFS lvm partition mounted at /video/ (it has 777 permission)

No IR (yet)

Fedora 4

All binary install from atrpms and freshrpms

ivtv-0.4.1-100

mythtv-0.18.1-117

7667 and 8178 versions of nvidia drivers tried

 

/etc/modprobe.conf

alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv

alias tuner tuner-ivtv

alias tda9887 tda9887-ivtv

alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv

alias char-major-81 ivtv

# nvidia kernel module

alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-7667

alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7667

 

Any ideas?
