I would be very interested in some details, as I´m at a dead end at the
moment (I should go to bed and continue tommorow nigt anyways).

Same here, I actually switched from debian to RH9 to get HW mpe2
decoding.

That´s what I would like to have :-)

So here they are:

- Mpeg2 decoding is up and running (via X and libddmpeg from CLEXF40032)
ViaXine is taking 25-30% of my Eden CPU (600Mhz fanless) playing a full
resolution .vob

- ivtv compiled from decoder-alpha, modprobe successful

- modules.conf:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 via_v4l_drv
alias char-major-81-1 via_v4l_drv
alias char-major-81-2 via_v4l_drv
                                                                                                                   alias char-major-81-3   ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv debug=1
options tuner type=30
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner
#add below ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c



- mythtv set to /dev/video3


What do I miss? I certainly miss something, because it wont work. I get
I/O errors on /dev/video3, ivtv missing sockets and all.

Please help,
