As you can see, there was a failure to load module saa7115 and several
warnings about client addresses not being found, among other things.  I
have no idea why these things are happening or how to fix them...

RE: [gentoo-user] OT - Need help getting MythTV to work with new(er) kernel

2006-03-14 Thread Rik van de Bovenkamp
Hi,

If you check dmesg, is everything OK loading ivtv?
You should see the ivtv messages between two  lines.
Using diff to compare the dmesg output for different kernels has led me to 
getting things to work.

When you do a ivtv-tune -f xxx.xx   to set frequency.
After that cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg and you playback test.mpg is that OK (or 
you do mplayer /dev/video0)

kernel config, and the
