Hi Jarrod, Axel, and everybody,
OK, well, I'm still stuck. I've been trying everything you guys have been
suggesting, but I think the biggest problem is that I don't know how to do
what you're suggesting ;-)
I did make some headway, just in noticing that I actually am able to watch
video off of the composite in...it's just when I try to watch the tuner that
I get the static...so it definitely is related to the "ivtv: Setting Tuner
50" and "tuner: tuner type not set" lines....I think that either my tuner
isn't getting loaded, or if it is it's the wrong version, or something.
So, without further ado, I'll give you the output of some of what I've been
attempting...if you're able to help that would be great.....any suggestions
would be nice.....clearly I have little idea what I'm doing:
<--- Trying to upgrade modutils --->
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# apt-cache policy modutils
modutils:
Installed: 2.4.26-16
Candidate: 2.4.26-16
Version Table:
*** 2.4.26-16 0
996 http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/2/i386/core pkglist
100 RPM Database
<--- Still trying to upgrade modutils...it's not working though -->
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# apt-get upgrade modutils
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded.
<-- probing for the tuner -->
[EMAIL PROTECTED] video]# /sbin/modprobe -nv tuner
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.6_FC2/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.6_FC2/kernel/drivers/media/video/tuner.ko
<-- I edited /etc/apt/sources-list to include the at-testing branch, instead
of just at-stable, then tried to upgrade ivtv and video4linux -->
[EMAIL PROTECTED] apt]# apt-get upgrade ivtv
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded
autofs ivtv kernel-module-ivtv-2.6.9-1.6_FC2 readline readline-devel
The following packages have been kept back
gd
5 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 2294kB of archives.
After unpacking 92.3kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

I think that's basically it. Basically the problem is that I don't know how
to upgrade modutiles, or my tuner/video4linux....
Thanks again, in advance....
