All right that worked thanks. I have another question. How do I make ivtv-fb load on boot? Everything is working. I can watch live tv , recording, etc. X and the mythtv interface is still on the monitor but I will fix that later.
My modules have the following so far(ignore case, blasted outlook): Alias char-major-81 videodev Alias char-major-81-0 ivtv And in my lirc config area I have Alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c Add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c The howto on ivtvdriver.org does not cover tv out, only setting up the tuner. Also, lircd is still blowing up on startup. If I start it manually (as root) it works. That might not exactly be an ivtv error but I figured I would ask. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Larkin Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 10:48 AM To: User discussion about IVTV Subject: Re: [ivtv-users] (no subject) the menu.lst file in the grub dir is your config file for grub, edit that file to add parameters. an easier way to do this would be write down the commands you want to try passing to the kernel and add them at the grub boot prompt by pressing "e" on the selected title to boot. This will give you the option to edit your kernel boot parameters without making permanent changes until you find the right combination to work for you.
