Can't give an answer on the SMP issue, but is the ivtv fb driver
talking to the correct framebuffer device? Check your xorg.conf file
and make sure the fb device the ivtvdev driver is configured to use is
the one that the module has actually attached to. Check your
dmesg/messages file for the ivtv output in case your video card's
driver has also created a framebuffer device.
