[mythtv-users] IVTV Problem with Mandriva 2008.1 and 2.6.24 kernel

I am running a 64 bit Mandriva 2008.1 with the 2.6.24.7-tmb-desktop-3mdv
kernel and cannot get ivtv to display anything when running mplayer
/dev/video0 or /dev/video1. I need this kernel for RAID 5 support. I have
placed the output of dmesg below. Note that I am using the proprietary ATI
driver for Xv. I just get a blank screen in mplayer on a test; not snow as
if it isn't tuned properly. I've tried compiling the latest versions of
ivtv and the ivtv-util and have placed the latest drivers in
/lib/firmware. I have two PVR-350s.  My Myth version that I am trying to
get working is SVN 18299 from 0.22.20080903-1.

Any theories?

thx!
Scott
