Hello all, Although I'm no linux newbie, most of my experience comes from LinuxPPC and, well, things are different enough to make my little PVR project a little bit more difficult than I expected.
I just bought a AMD Athlon-based PC with a FlyVideo 2000 card. My plan is to use it with MythTV. I installed the latest Red Hat on it (the linux PPC I use is very similar to Red Hat). I got pretty much everything working except the saa7134 card. I tried recompiling the current RH kernel with v4l2 patch applied and I got stuck trying to use it (coudn't figure out what that *.img file is for grub and the one I tried to make didn't work). I then turned to atrpms. They supposedly had kernels and everything else to make this work. Well, their saa7134 drivers won't load because of kernel-module mismatch. I then tried to recompile the saa7134 alone with the kernel-source atrpms package (using the rather short instructions on bytesex.org) and it woudn't compile (got some error that I will be happy to post here if needed). I usually like to find stuff for myself but I have been at it for a week now and made very limited progresses. If someone got a similar setup to work, I would very much appreciate some pointers (what versions of drivers worked, RPMs or kernel do you use).
