I'm using a simple setup with a
PVR-350,
Basic Cable,
and build in video card.

I install following the CD prompts selecting standard defaults. (I have tried no splash screen and with it). Everything appears to go smoothly. I unpate the Database and d/l all the program data. Mythtv starts and I can configure/see the PVR-350. I can schedual programs to record and watch them record on the screen (in the little thumbnail). This is all on the computer monitor. When I try to go to live tv or watch a recording the monitor goes blank and the tv output on the 350 starts to work and a good picture is shown. Sound works and I can pause and do other features. When I hit esc the montior comes back on and the menu comes back.

The main problem happens when I reboot. X will fail to load and I get an error saying No screen found device about fb0.

If I copy XF86Config-4.pre350 to XF86Config-4, X will load and MythTV will start. If I try to watch video I get "Unable to intialize video"

I'm almost sure that the problem lies in my X config. I've followed several how-to's and nothing seems to work.

This is a copy of the non working XF86Config-4 file. It was working great before I rebooted and then the exact error message is

open /dev/fb0: No such device
Screen 0 deleted becuase of no matching config section
Device(s) detected, but none match those in config file.

Fatal server error:
No screens found.

LSPCI shows

Code:

root@tivo2:/etc/X11# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8375 [KM266/KL266] Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8633 [Apollo Pro266 AGP]
00:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

The card is at fb0

Code:

root@tivo2:/etc/X11# grep "TV out" /var/log/messages
Sep 15 10:39:33 tivo2 kernel: ivtv0-osd: fb0: cx23415 TV out frame buffer device

I can see a very nice looking test pattern by

Code:

 /sbin/rmmod saa7127
/sbin/modprobe saa7127 test_image=1 

And I can watch TV by

Code:

dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k
