Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV-Out with Xv support
HELP!! 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!! - Jeff On 10/6/05, Jeff Simpson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 10/5/05, R.

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV-Out with Xv support
Don't Panic! ivtv is really quite easy to build and install. The xdriveris more difficult, but still doable. Is there a howto or doc anywhere that describes or guides you through the process of enabling Xv on the 350's TV-Out?Nothing to it really. Build and install the ivtv 0.3.8 and xdriver0.10.6, and you're done. Justuse XV and enjoy. Is there a howto on that? installing ivtv is fine with gentoo, emerge should be able to do it without any problem. compiling the xdriver is so far proving to be a pretty hefty challenge. Are there particular versions of X that this is known to work with? I am working on writing an ebuild for gentoo that puts ivtv into the correct directory among x.org 5.8.2-r5, but it doesn't want to compile. What directory am I supposed to give it when I run xmkmf (it says X SOURCES but that is very vague...what directory is it looking for?). What should I do when it dumps out with this message: ivtv_xv.c: In function `IVTVStopVideo': ivtv_xv.c:459: error: storage size of `colorKey' isn't known ivtv_xv.c:462: error: `IVTVFB_IOCTL_SET_COLORKEY' undeclared (first use in this function) ivtv_xv.c:462: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ivtv_xv.c:462: error: for each function it appears in.) ivtv_xv.c: In function `IVTVPutImage': ivtv_xv.c:716: error: storage size of `colorKey' isn't known ivtv_xv.c:719: error: `IVTVFB_IOCTL_SET_COLORKEY' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [ivtv_xv.o] Error 1 Thanks! ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
