Matt,
you say I need to install the ivtv_xdriver. Isn't that the file I
ivtvdev_drv.so that I have here?
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.so
I listed it up above but I called it Xdriver instead of ivtv_xdriver. I
downloaded it from hellion.org.uk as I have xorg 7.1 in mandriva which is
supposed to be an issue?
Also what do you mean but "all the modprobe info set"? Here's what I have
[malcolms at mythtv ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.preload | grep -v \# | sed -e '/^$/d'
ivtv
ivtv
ivtv_fb
via-agp
