I try compile my own kernel, but the device wasn't created. I write letter to hungarian mplayer user list, and here sad me: try use ivtv, because the ivtv's driver good for PVR-250 card's. what method did you attempt the install? I have just been given the same card I don't know if you _need_ ivtv. I would put the card in and run harddrake first. Thanks your answer! Toti well Toti,, I feel your pain,,, After your last note, I decided to remove my old winTV (based on a bttv 848 chip) that has worked with out fail since about MDK7.2, and replace it with a new pvr250, to see if I could get it running,,, but so far,, just spinning my wheels, I am sorry to say. I looks like ivtv 'should' be _the_ program for this card, but I have not yet been able to get the RPMs to install. Sorry I don't have better news,,, but keep watching this list, when I get it running, I will let you know. so far it looks like you should try the 'multimedia' kernel since it should already be compliled with v4l. have you attempted to urpmi or use MCC to find the/a multimedia kernel (it will have mm in the name of the kernel)?

Toti Well I stuck my pvr250 in my box and removed the winTVpci that I had been using since about 2000. seems this card uses a connextent chip, and not a bttv chip. seems to be not as well supported as the bttv chip, but should still be able to get working. looks like mythtv is the application for this card. at this point I am hunting down required files for the src. rpm.

I try install this card under Mandrake Linux 9.2 Download version, but something wrong. what method did you attempt the install? I have just been given the same card for a gift, and have had great luck with a wintv card previously, but have not attempted to install this card. Maybe I don't understand every step in ivtv documents, and this is a problem. What I do: -download ivtv (December 21, 2003 version) I don't know if you _need_ ivtv. I would put the card in and run harddrake first. -compile Mandrake 2.4.22-21mdk kernel with all I2C, Media/Video modules. And restart computer with new kernel -make device /dev/video0 mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0 - cd ivtv folder, and copy videodev2.h to driver folder, and try compile ivtv driver.

Don't find /dev/video0 device (but this is exist). I read some list archives and readme files, but don't find the answer for my questions. Please help me! Thanks!
