My Setup on Fedora 8

I'm currently using Mythtv trunk, compiled by ATrpms. I had to enable the bleeding repository to pull down the trunk rpms. I'm running trunk because Mythtv needed some code changes for the 350 TVOUT to work with newer kernels and there hasnt been an official release with the required code. The downside to running ATrpms' bleeding packages is that they take up more system resources.

Capture Cards

PVR350 (using TV out)

PVR150

Xorg

Posted here is my xorg.conf file for the PVR350 with TVOUT. I had to change a few lines between Fedora 6 and Fedora 8 because of the change in the ivtv driver.

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
# or:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
#       Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
