Finally after a total system reload and again using Jarod's atrpms guide, I
got the ivtv-fb to compile and load.
Now the new problem. First, not doing anything to XF86Config I'm able to
run mythfrontend just fine. Watch live tv, record, watch a recording,
everything works. So now I decide to configure X. I inserted as per
ivtv-fb.h. Then I restart X and I have my desktop on the tv. WOOOO HOOOO!!!
So, next step, I run export DISPLAY=:0.1 and then mythfrontend. I see
mythtv on my tv. Another WOOO HOOO!
So I proceed to watch live tv. I get a black screen. On the pc monitor in
the term window I see a message that repeats, waiting too long .... I can't
remember the rest, sorry.
Here is my XF86Config if you can look at it and tell me if I have anything
wrong or missing. I assume the problem is here. Oh yeah, I'm using RH9, KDE
and the kernel from ATrpms.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
