Comments on: ivtv docs in progress http://wonkabar.org/archives/327 linux, databases, cartoons and cornflakes Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:40:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: C.M http://wonkabar.org/archives/327#comment-20712 C.M Wed, 29 Aug 2007 06:00:29 +0000 http://wonkabar.org/archives/327#comment-20712 Looks like a good start to me, and it's just about where I'm at right now with my computer. (A suggestion is to make using 2.6.22 or greater the default instruction, and having a section about how you do it "the old way".) I've installed a PVR-150 and compiled the kernel modules. It shows up in dmesg, but I have not installed the ivtv package nor MythTV, Freevo or anything like that yet. I also have to figure out how to set up X to use dual output from my graphics card. That is one cable to the tv (1024x768 widescreen plasma) with correct aspect ratio, and one to my regular monitor. So that's what I'm hoping to find in this doc when it's done. Anyway, thanks for all your work so far! :-) Looks like a good start to me, and it’s just about where I’m at right now with my computer.
