But isn't bttv required? MAybe I've misread somewhere.
As for ivtv yes, I've been trying to emerge ivtv all day long.
Something's wrong with the ebuild or the source code serverI guess. I
filed a quick bug report a couple of hours ago.
Is that driver required before the /dev/v4l/XXX is created?
Anyway, I'll continue to try to get that installed. Maybe I can drop
back to some older version. There's nothing unmasked and ~x86 doesn't
download.
Addressing Lucian's question here's my lspci info:

Thanks much,
