I recompiled and installed ivtv 0.3.8, x.org 6.8.2-r5 and the 0.10.6 xdriver. they all compiled perfectly, but now I can't get tvout to work.
Symptoms:
ivtv-fb is missing now. It's not in ivtv-0.3.8, so I assume it got replaced by some other module? What should I be loading?
What changes do I need to make to XF86Config to make X happy? I tried using ivtv_drv, ivtvdev_drv, fbdev and fbdev_drv, and I get the following:
(EE) LoadModule: Module ivtvdev_drv does not have a ivtvdev_drvModuleData data object.
(EE) Failed to load module "ivtvdev_drv" (invalid module, 0)
(EE) No devices detected.
Thanks!!

Down a ways there is a discussion about compiling the Xv, and XVmc drivers
for a VIA motherboard... But the process will be exactly the same for you
to do in gentoo, subject only to a choice of the difference video driver
you are applying it to.
I'll take a peek at that. I'm pretty sure the problems I'm having have to do with version numbers or strange things about gentoo that don't work right, but I'll see if it helps any.
There is another gotcha if you are doing this from source and that is that
if you are using an oddly named kernel, the modules will get built under
/lib/modules in a folder called something like 2.6.12-12custom... You
have to move the drivers to the correct place which is something like
/lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk-i686-4GB-up/kernel/drivers etc etc etc...
The compiling itself is nothing... But note, you may have to re-compile X
from scratch in order to make this work... Not difficult but
time-consuming.. Takes about 1 and three quarter hours on my Via SP13000
box...Definitely a start and go to lunch project.
Yeah, it's gentoo, so I'm used to that ;-P I'm trying to work it all into an ebuild so I can do the whole thing unattended, but I need to be able to do it manually first, I think.

PS... I noticed that you inadvertantly spelt your first name wrong!
PPS... Unless you live in the Toronto or Ottawa area (in which case you
might be one of the ones I already know) you are the 4th distinct Jeff
Simpson I have run across... it's almost as bad as being a Colin Campbell!
Googlism has a lot to say about "Jeff Simpson" including that I'm a Hero in Cuba, I am leaving MIT to take a job at UNH (ironic since I do in fact work at MIT....a previous Jeff Simpson that worked at MIT as a chem professor is now working at UNH). It's also worth noting that jeff simpson is a graduate of the wealth barber school of journalism, a disco king in his native land of gouzenko, and an educational consultant based in ukiah. He is also published by bbc worldwide and is available now, is now offering tai chi classes at unity, and is on trial.
