I tried it tonight, and got a segmentation fault when running
modprobe ivtv-fb

This is strange....

thats awesome zaroff.

I too was not sucessful at first though...
downloaded ivtv sources, recompiled and it's all good now.

Thanks

I was watching the monitor boot up and then switches over to the 350. It then goes blank. I'm using the composite out.

It was working before I rebooted and how after the reboot no joy.

Hi batkinson and zaroff,

Can you be a little bit more explicit about each step (code command) you make to figured it out. I'm kind of newbie with Linux.

Actually, i have a black screen and i'm not able to NX in. I have to boot with a knoppix disc to change back the XF86Config-4 back (monitor one)

Thanks a lot
Bob

from memory...

have monitor and tv (composite out, svideo out not tested)

Reboot with knoppmythR7D1, auto upgrade (wipes out hda1)
setup system, no bootsplash (i've repeated that the upgrade many times now, keep backup of /etc on hda3 for fstab and mtab and mdadm.conf for raid)
(as root)

perform zaroffs hacks to /etc/init.d/local and XF86Config-f



(refer to http://ivtvdriver.org for more ivtv info)

cross fingers hold breath reboot

Thanks batkinson for your guide.

I will try with tyour your step and the brand new IVTV version 0.8.0 and give you some feedback shortly.

I understand that in the initial setup when the post installation ask for configure the PVR350 you respond yes. Am i right?

I think you should put this information on the KnoppMyth Wiki.

I'm waiting for a solution since the release of the R5D1. I have spent too much time trying solve this issue like eqnox1 and a lot of PVR350 owners.

Thanks
Bob

For what its worth I'm also experiencing similar problems with getting the tuner to work after the first reboot. During clean install off of R5D1 CD it I can get the tuner working correctly until the first reboot. From that point forward I can't get the tuner working. I've tried many different things and will try whats suggested in this thread and post back the results.

My video card is a GeForce 7200GT with TV/Out and a Haugpauge PVR 150 and I've tried with/without bootsplash and various other configurations.

dmonsky - this isn't a "my PVR-[12]50 tuner doesn't work" thread. It's about PVR-350 display problems. You need to go through this troubleshooting checklist on the wiki http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=BlackScreenWatchingTV
At a guess you've got one of the TCL M2523_3DB_E or TCL M2523_5N_E based PVR cards that are giving people fits.

Hi,

Still no go for me

-reboot autoupgrade
-setup system
-config pvr350
-config no boot splash
- ...
-Make Zaroffs stuff
-create local file like zaroffs
-chmod local file
-update-rc.d
-Edit the XF86Config-4
-wget ivtv-0.8.0
-AND HERE PROBLEM when it's time to make
--make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.17-chw-8/build: no such file or directory. stop. ... Error 2


I also tried the 0.7.1 ivtv driver with the same error.

If i reboot the machine the monitor is freezed, the TV is Black or with some colours strip and i can't ssh the machine. I maked that 3 times tonight and i really don't understand where i'm wrong.

PLEASE HELP !
Bob

Did you unpack the kernel source? I followed steps 1-3 at http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv, substituting ivtv 0.7.1 for 0.4.6. I don't think 0.8.0 is appropriate since it's for the 2.6.18 kernel only. There were no errors and after a reboot, I had a working TV out. Then I did step 11 from the compile ivtv instructions and so far, it seems ok.

thats what my memory will get you...
silentaccord is right, ivtv 8 is for newer kernel version
I checked, and I actually did 0.7.0, but 0.7.1 is a tad newer and should work too.

Hi everybody,

Silentaccord was right, i forgot the unpack kernel source.

I made the installation and now everything is working.

This is the way to go:
-reboot autoupgrade
-setup system
-config pvr350
-config no boot splash
- ...
-Make Zaroffs stuff
-create local file like zaroffs
-chmod local file
-update-rc.d
-Edit the XF86Config-4
-Unpack the Kernel
-wget ivtv-0.7.1
-make the IVTV intsallation (http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv)
-Reboot
-Drop and recreate card config
-Enjoy your PVR350 Tv-Out

By the way, i use the SVIDEO input of the PVR350.

Thanks to zaroffs, batkinson and silentaccord to help me figuring it out.
Happy Bob

Glad to hear you got it working, Bob!
