Hi,
After the upgrade to R5D1 I am having some trouble with starting X11 through PVR350 tv-out automagically. The computer boots into runlevel 5 as usual, but for some reason it does not load ivtv_fb. The X11 driver obviously cannot access fb1 and craps out.
If I manually do:
Code:
rmmod ivtv

and then do:
Code:
modprobe ivtv

it still does not load ivtv_fb. This:
Code:
modprobe ivtv_fb

works fine, and I can successfully start X11 afterwards.
Shouldn't ivtv_fb be loaded automatically with ivtv? If not, how can I make sure that ivtv_fb (or any other module) gets loaded before X11 is started?
To be honest, I am not sure if this really is an install issue, since I haven't seen anyone else reporting on this... Anyway. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Mark

Well, if ivtv-fb is not loaded, the PVR350 would show a black screen. I do think, however, that you should see some colors flashing when ivtv is loaded and the card is initialized...

I just tried it, but I get the same old X11-won't-start information windows. What's more, a manual modprobe ivtv-fb doesn't work either at that point! Only after a rmmod ivtv I can do that again... Strange things are going on...

Here's a condensed log:

After using the code above, the screen no longer stays black for me. Instead, it goes green for about 5 seconds and then cuts off (unusable/no signal).

any ideas?
