To see if PVR-350 playback works for me yet (didn't two years ago), I 
decided 
to wipe out and redo a myth box.  I'm using FC4 and Jarod's always-useful 
howto.

   Things were generally good.  Modules (including ivtv-fb) installed and 
loaded 
okay.

Works great:
modprobe saa7127 test_image=1

Works great, good data:
cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg

Trouble:
ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 --globalalpha=off --localalpha=on
IVTVFB_IOCTL_GET_STATE failed (error: Invalid argument)


   I discovered the new argument syntax, but anything I do with ivtvfbctl 
returns IVTVFB_IOCTL_GET_STATE failed (error: Invalid argument)  So first thing 
I double-check is my fb device.  It is indeed, as shown below, /dev/fb1  UH oh, 
there goes my easy answer.  Am I missing something else simple about ivtv-fb?

   I should note that I got further than this two years ago, so hardware 
shouldn't be the issue.  I was always able to change fb settings through the 
utilities, and displav X through the 350, it just bombed out after playing 
video a bit.
