It's been a long night folks, so don't grill me if the solution is obvious.
Ok so I'm building a PVR, and the distro is FC4. I'm using a Hauppauge PVR-350, and I'm having some trouble with the Audio/Video out on it.
I've been following the Mythtv guide from here,
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/
I used yum to get the ivtv drivers, and then I've edited /etc/modprobe.conf to the specifications, and now I know that I need to configure my xorg.conf to run x off of the Tuners video out, but that is where I've hit a bit of a stumbling block.
so ok here is my modprobe
Code:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 ivtv
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c
and here is my lspci for the tuner card
Code:
01:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
now I tryed to follow the guide's instructions for configuring xorg.conf, but the conf file I've come up with causes my system to hang on boot.
so here is my weird xorg.conf
Code:
# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

So any ideas/suggestions on what might be wrong with my system? Also, is there anything special that needs to be done to use the audio outputs on the PVR350?
Thanks in advance.
