[mythtv-users] Xorg over Hauppauge PVR-350 tv-out woes

[Jason Scott Musits]

Well I have ben working on getting Xorg's output through my Hauppauge
PVR-350's tv-out for quite a while now and I am VERY stuck.  So I
thought I would consult the experts.  The problem I am having is Xorg's
output is split into four quadrants.  The upper left and right quadrants
are Xorg's output but the color is all messed up (the hue and saturation
are screwy, color is purple and green).  The bottom left and right
quadrants are just blank.

First off, I will outline what I have working properly and some system
specs.

1) The PVR-350 encodes video fine.
2) MythTV works flawlessly via normal Xorg output to my monitor.
3) MythTV outputs video via the PVR-350's tv-out to a TV flawlessly.

I am running Gentoo Liux with kernel 2.6.11.

# uname -a
Linux reba 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 #1 Mon May 2 21:16:02 AST 2005 i686 Pentium

# lspci

The PVR-350's tv-out is identified as /dev/fb0.

I am using the ivtv-0.2.0_rc3-4 ebuild (ivtv-0.2.0-rc3j) and the
mythtv-0.16 ebuild (mythtv-0.16).

Here are the relevant lines from my xorg.conf

EndSection

The following register switches were recommended in another post but
they did not fix anything for me.

ivtvctl -j reg=0x6c,val=0xfa -d /dev/video16
ivtvctl -j reg=0x2d,val=0x38 -d /dev/video16

Well I think that's all I have.  If anyone needs more info about
something please let me know, I'll gladly post it.  Thanks in advance
for your help and I'm sorry about making such a long post.

Peace
