Hi,
No complete solution but what strikes me is that it sounds like my, former, problem.
Do you have any framebuffers beside IVTV running as modules? Or compiled into the kernel? Perhaps try to remove them first and try again, if you can work without them off course. That was the problem was for me...
Do you have a chance of SSH into the machine? The try start top before loading ivtv-fb, and watch the CPU usage. If it goes to 100% (which it probably does) just kill X which is most likely the cause of the problem.
Not much help, but try it out.

Hi,
I'm having some problems getting the ivtv-fb driver to work on my system. I have a PVR-350 and I'm trying to use it for my output device. I'm using ivtv-0.3.2i with the 1.18.21.22301 firmware. Encoding works great, decoding works great.
I'm now trying to get the OSD working, and every time I load the ivtv-fb module my system hangs... complete lock-up and I have to reboot. Here is all I get in the logs when it happens:
ivtv-osd: Framebuffer module loaded (attached to ivtv card id 0) ivtv-osd: Framebuffer is at decoder-relative address 0x00510000 and has 1704960 bytes. ivtv-osd: screen coords: [0 0] -> [720 480] ivtv-osd: original global alpha = 208 ivtv-osd: current OSD state = 39 ivtv-osd: new global alpha = 208 (1 255 0) ivtv-osd: framebuffer at 0xe5510000, mapped to 0xdd890000, size 1350k ivtv-osd: mode is 720x480x32, linelength=2880 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 90x30 ivtv-osd: fb0: iTVC15 TV out frame buffer device
The screen now has a black & white pattern on it that looks something like: _________________________ _|_______________________ ____|____________________ _______|_________________ __________|______________ _____________|___________ ________________|________ ___________________|_____ ______________________|__
(I can follow-up with a picture if anyone wants to see it)
At this point the machine completely locks up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions, suggestions, pointers, module options that I should be looking in to?
Thanks in advance!
David
