We are happy to announce the release of KnoppMyth R5A12 "Death's Swagger".

What's new:
Fix for DVD rip (according to wiki...).
Added 'tv' boot option.
Added XF86Config-4 samples.
Added libxvmc-dev, libxvmc1, libxvmcw1-dev, libxvmcw, xlibs-static-dev and via-drm-module
Modified php.ini set memory limit to 32 Megs
Patched tv_grab_au
Removed kernel-headers and mythtv-debug debs
Modified install-nvidia-6629.sh to uncompress kernel.
Modified KnoppMyth-tv to use /etc/modprobe.d

In english:
KnoppMyth now offers out the box support for the Via Epia and Epia M.

The script that "attempts" to detect the presences of a tuner card now works.

Cavaets:
To use the debs built w/ XvMC for the Unichrome drivers after installing:


If you do an upgrade, the script will be written over as /etc/mythtv/modules is restored. So, before restoring open an xterm and Continue with restore then copy ivtv over the restored version.

LIRC is still an issue, so you'll have to manually set it up:
If you have a PVR x50 make /etc/modprobe.d/lirc that looks like(may work for some):

alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c

or

alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
install lirc_dev /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_dev; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c

Add /usr/local/sbin/lircd to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

Don't forget to update modules....

If this doesn't work for you, vi /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and add:

modprobe lirc_i2c
/usr/local/sbin/lircd

Enjoy,

Cecil and Dale
