So, I've read through a number of great threads on here and the 350-tvout howto, all great.
Unfortunately I ran into a problem when I tried to use the fb for the tvout with the pvr-350.
I can get the old dd method to work for /dev/video to /dev/video16 just fine, so that part of things is configured correctly. MythTV can even output to the tv when I'm running the front end on a monitor.
However when I try and switch X to output using the fb, the screen just stays black. No error, no dying, it's as if it's trying to output to.... something, and it thinks it's succeeding. For curiousity sake I even tried using mplayer to output to the /dev/fb1 device, it as well thinks it's outputting to something... some mysterious screen. I've tried mplayer to /dev/fb0 from the command line, it displays quite nicely on my monitor, so again, the fb dirver seems to be working.
I've plugged both the svideo and composite outputs into my tv to see if it might just be trying to putput to the wrong one, no luck.
Anyone have any ideas? Below I'm pasting a number of my config files in case anyone can spot a dumb mistake I made.... Thanks!
