| Post subject: | pvr350 problems |
Hello, I've just done an auto-install of R5 and am having trouble getting the pvr350 output to work. I copied the XF86Config-4.pvr350-tvout.example to XF86Config-4, set the mouse, set the fbdev to /dev/fb0 (which I got from "dmesg|grep ^fb") and set the BusID to 0:0x05:0 (which I got from lspci). However, when I run startx I get the error: (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument (EE) FBDEV(0): Mode init failed Any ideas what I need to do to get this resolved? And is there by any chance a script or something to configure the pvr350, ie: some way to get it to configure automatically? Thanks! |

What version of ivtv are you using? And do you use ivtvdev or fbdev as the driver for X? |

Thanks for the reply. I'm using whatever comes with R5. There's an ivtv-0.1.10-pre2... I assume that's the driver. The R5 sample XF86Config-4 for pvr350 that I started from uses fbdev. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to add something to /etc/modules, but when I run lsmod it looks like ivtv, and a bunch of related drivers are loaded. |

Hello, From what it sounds like to me, you may need to make sure that you add ivtv-fb to /etc/modules. Also I discovered that on my system (which also uses /dev/fb0 for the pvr-350) I needed to do the following to make sure it the fb will work (as root): rm –f /dev/fb0 mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0 chmod 666 /dev/fb0 Also, I had to make my etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file look like this: # This is for WinTV PVR-350 IVTV alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv options ivtv debug=1 options tuner type=2 options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0x3000 post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video16 -u 0x3000 post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video32 -u 0x3000 post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video224 -u 0x3000 output_select=1 is if you want to use s-video (as opposed to composite). Don't forget to do an update-modules. I hope this helps. |

Do you mean R4V5? If you're using R5, I have no basis of comparison, since it hasn't been released to the general public yet. Juz10MAC makes some good suggestions. I'll just suplement them by suggesting you go to http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto and see some good instructions on getting tvout done for a PVR-350. Those instructions aren't specific to KnoppMyth, so there may be some unnecessary steps. |
