Just a followup: On a tip from Claus and Rob, I saw there was a vesafb module loaded. I unloaded that (after an unsuccessful attempt at making it not load at boot; it's not in /etc/modules or anywhere else for that matter... might be an initrd thing).
rmmod vesafb
modprobe ivtv-fb
works!
For the curious, the pattern on the screen is still there... it is
actually a very small font version of the console display repeated over
and over.
My next challenge is figuring out why the console switches over to the tv;
I'm not using con2fb, it just goes there. Thoughts?
Thanks again!
David
PS: once everything is working, I'm going to post the complete config for
my machine so no one else has to do this... I invite other to do the
same ;)
