[mythtv-users] Installation: PVR-350 modules

Hi,

I am still strugling to get X11 to output anything on my PVR-350 tv out.

I tried a suggestion to remove the rhgb option from grub.conf and replae
it with vga=792 which will results in my VGA output to be fb0 and my
PVR-250 would become fb1. Even with an xorg.conf file which I guess would
be allright for a PAL TV it does not show anything on the TV screen.

(Mind you that the dd command works just fine to watch telly.)

If I try to do it Jarod's and stuff a initial ram disk with the modules I
get the following messages:

ivtv: Error -3 initializing firmware
ivtv: Error -12 on initialization
ivtv-osd: ivtv-fb_card_id parameter is out of range (valid range: 0--1)
insmod: error inserting /lib/ivtv-fb.ko: -1 operation not permitted.

I have the modules like ivtv at this stage but the card is not working
untill I reboot without the modified ramdisk image.

dmesg is able to tell me:

I made notes on my progress and put them on:

I will update them as I go.
