So I'm back to beating it around again.  Finally got the IVTV branch to
somewhat behave.  So here's the scoop.  Gathered there's a bit of turmoil
in the whole licensing thing, and personally, I guess I don't care.  I'm
after quality code, one way or another.  Genkernel (Gentoo) is fine and
easy, but I'm not afraid of spinning my own kernel with patches and/or
additional mods.

(soapbox put away)

OK, so the branch from v4l-dvb-kernel/experimental compiles and almost
runs fine on my epia 1Ghz board (other than some strange *horizontal* blur
lines???)  but the goal is to put this on my server with my PVR-500 card.

I have made some progress as the branch from "makomk" that was supposably
a snapshot of the kernel branch compiles fine and the PVR-500 card works
with the embedded ivtv.  Now, the EM2880 driver craps out, but no kernel
panic, just doesn't work.

So.....  how do I graft these together?  Markus, are you using an older
version of IVTV, or do you hack the tuner module (the module that seems to
crap out).  What/how can I capture something useful for you?

HW:

AMD64 3000 (2GHz)
Older PCChips board
pair of 300GB SATA in RAID 0/1
1.25GB ram
Hauppauge PVR-500
Hauppauge HVR-950
Mythtv

Makomk snapshot gives working PVR-500 with 2.6.22 and craps out with
em2880 module

v4l-dvb-experimental has kernel oops?  (sort of goes on, but locks up
later in boot) with what appears the tuner module

HW2:

Epia M 1GHz
60G 2.5" drive
Hauppauge HVR-950
mythtv

V4l-dvb-experimental works fine (no crapping out), except for horizontal
blur lines (kind of like looking through old slat glass windows) on
motion.

Looking for directions....  :)
