I got it all fixed. Back up and running.  My ivtv section of modules.conf .  The bottom 3 lines are new.  Don’t know what it does but it works.  I thought the “alias” lines told the kernel to load a module.   I pulled this from some newsgroup post and hacked out the complicated options.  It was from like 1970 or something (I know exaggeration but it was talking about the .0.1.1 v of the driver)

 

alias char-major-81 videodev

alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0

add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner

add above ivtv ivtv-fb

 

the reason Lirc (and mythbackend for that matter) was not working was because I just manually created the links in the /etc/rc5.d directory vs using the command ‘update-rc.d blahblah’ command that creates the link for you.  Also I had to redirect the paths in the lirc script that I found in /etc/init.d

 

once I get mythweb reinstalled  it be all good again.

 

Also, the rebuild appears to have gotten rid of my popping and cracking problem and the inability to autoconfigure the audio standard.   I think it was because, since the 4.0 version would NOT build the tuner module, I was using the 3.7i tuner module with the other 4.0 drivers.  This apparently caused some weirdness.

 

Of course I am getting that msp3400 depmod error.   I don’t think my card in particular uses the msp3400 module so I guess that doesn’t matter to me.

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.

 

To get ivtv-fb to load on boot, it has to be in your kernel's initial ram disk.  Details on setting this up can be found in Jarod's guide : 

 

Do a find on that page for mkinird-ivtv to find the section detailing it.

 

Its not easy or painless.

 

Not sure about your lirc problem.  Might be a module order problem.
