Yesterday I got the ivtv x driver compiled from the sources (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/xserver-xorg-video-ivtvdev) for my FC5 machine. I had to add a small patch to the ivtvhw.h file.
The driver is ok because X starts but my pvr-350 is in my normal machine so I also have a screen on my LCD monitor (ATI card). Currently I use gnome but when I loggin only the background of the desktop is shown, both on LCD and PVR-350 out, and not the icons, clock, menu's, etc.... These programs do get started but I did not have time yet to find out where they are displayed (not on the LCD or pvr-350 screen). When I use KDE I do get everything but this desktop locks up after a few seconds. Through a ssh connection I can restart my x server and I get the login prompt again. So I try to get the best option possible but currently nothing, fb or xv, is working or working stable.
