Hello. I have had a MythTV setup working for several years. It has a
PVR-350 and when it's in use I have xorg.conf set to use its video out as
the system monitor. One day I turned it on and it had stopped working
(black screen on video out). When I switched xorg.conf to use the onboard
VGA as the display, everything worked fine. I also tested the video out on
the PVR-350 (via /sbin/modprobe saa7127 test_image=1) and that is working.
So I am guessing something has gone south with IVTV, though this is odd
because I have not made any config changes in the system.
I have not upgraded to the latest IVTV drivers because my Fedora Core 6 is
so old you can't use yum to do updates anymore. The relevant dmesg dump is
below. /var/log/messages is giving some suspicious looking output, also
below.
Can anyone spot an obvious problem that is fixable here, or should I just
wipe the drive, upgrade the core, and start over with a fresh install of
MythTV and the latest drivers?
Thanks,
Steve
