Revision as of 21:02, 29 March 2006
This How-To outlines how to get the xv extension working on the TV-Out of the Hauppauge PVR-350 in various distributions of linux.
Contents
Configuring x.org (all distributions)
This section describes the changes you will need to make to your XF86Config / xorg.conf file in order to enable the X driver.
- Edit your XF86Config (or x.org) file to contain the following. Replace with your own fbdev and BusID as appropriate (see below):
Section "Device" Identifier "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer" Driver "ivtvdev" Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb2" BusID "PCI:0:10:0" End Section
- Get your appropriate BusID from lspci (available from the pcitools package):
lspci |grep video
- Get the appropriate fb device from /proc/fb:
cat /proc/fb
Compiling the X driver on a RedHat Compatible System
I also needed the x driver to get xine to play nice with the PVR-350. These steps worked to compile it on a CentOS 4.2 (RedHat Enterprise) x86_64 System:
- Download and extract xdriver source. Here I'll use the home directory (~).
- Install xorg-x11 source RPM, for me
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20.src.rpm
-
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
-
rpmbuild -bc xorg-x11.spec
-- This took a good half hour on my 2.8Ghz P4-521. This patches and compiles but does not install the source. I wonder if 'rpmbuild -bp
' would be enough for this to work? -
cd ~/ivtv_xdriver_0.10.6/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ivtv
-
xmkmf /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/xorg-x11-6.8.2/xc
-
make
-
cp ivtvdev_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/drivers
. On an i386 system the destination for the copy should be/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
. - Edit
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
(see above edits to XF86Config). - Restart X
The xdriver source compiled without any patches or fixes. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
after restarting X to see that the driver is loading. My log file stated that the driver is compiled for 4.3.99.902 while I clearly have 6.8.2 installed. Odd, but it still works.

Compiling the X driver on Gentoo with Modular X.Org (6.9/7.0)
Since Modular Xorg has drivers in separate packages, porting the xdriver to one of these packages was just a matter of hijacking the fbdev package and changing which files it compiled.
- Put the tar.bz2 file in /usr/portage/distfiles
cp xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles
- Put the .ebuild in your portage overlay under x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtv
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtvdev/
cp xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.ebuild /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtvdev/
- Build the digest for the ebuild
ebuild xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6.ebuild digest
- Add the package to package.keywords
echo "x11-drivers/xf86-video-ivtvdev ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
- Emerge the package
emerge xf86-video-ivtvdev
Notice: these are copies of the source code obtained from ivtvdriver.org, modified for the package structure of modular xorg.

Compiling the X driver on Gentoo with X.Org 6.8.X
NOTICE: These instructions are outdated and may no longer work.
This section focuses on installing the X Driver (with XVideo extensions) in Gentoo under x.org 6.8.X. This assumes that you have tvout working on the Hauppauge PVR-350, or at least some parts of MythTV already working.
- Upgrade to the newest release of Ivtv, at this time, ivtv-0.3.8.
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge ivtv
- Upgrade/Install x.org. I used version 6.8.2-r5, but any new-ish release should be ok
- Download the XDriver from here: http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/xdriver/
- Unzip the archive into the source directory for X, in the
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ivtv
directory
- Edit
xc/config/cf/xorg.cf
and look for#define XF86[[Card Drivers]]
. Add "ivtv" somewhere in that list. - Run a
make clean
andmake install
in that directory to install the ivtv driver. - Edit your
XF86Config
file to contain the following. Replace with your own fbdev and BusID as appropriate (see below):
Section "Device" Identifier "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer" Driver "ivtvdev" Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb2" BusID "PCI:0:10:0" [[End Section]]
- Get your appropriate BusID from lspci (available from the pcitools package):
lspci |grep video
- Get the appropriate fb device from /proc/fb:
cat /proc/fb
- attachment:XF86Config_relevant_parts
Start X!
In order to facilitate, I created a patch and custom ebuild to download/install xdriver and patch the xorg.cf file.
- attachment:ivtv.xorg.cf.patch (now missing)
- attachment:xorg-x11-6.8.2-r5.ebuild (now missing)
