Don't worry too much about optimizing the hell out of it. I use: -mcpu=i586 -O2 -mmmx -msse (from memory, not sure about the last one). Too much optimization will increase the compile time so much it'll annoy the hell out of you, with little real gain. Mythtv works pretty well without via's binary drivers. I forced some things to load and recompiled mythtv to take advantage of the mpeg2 decoder and it worked out quite nicely. for playback. Then, I couldn't recompile the ivtv modules. Right now I'm holding on until the latest reverse-engineered decoder stuff is included in the -epia kernel (www.ivor.it/cle266) that a fine chap has put together. Before I to include more of the goodies, I had the best luck with ac-sources for kernel, and the latest development release of xfree86 (currently 4.3.99.901, I think). The ivy tv page at http://ivtv.sourceforge.net can tell you how to set up the lirc drivers for the pvr250/350. I set that up some time ago, so don't now remember details. For a WM, I decided that something a little nicer than twm was in order, so I used waimea. Lots of people have had good luck with any of the *box WMs. good luck -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
