Setting up the TV output of the PVR-350

I looked at the following web pages: 
	http://www.abarbaccia.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,39/expv,0/topic,67.new
	http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X_windows_through_Hauppauge_350_TV_Out
	http://www.schaefer.dhcp.biz/pvr350tvout.htm
	http://wiki.osuosl.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7041
	http://ozlabs.org/~jk/docs/mergefb/
Use lspci to find the bus address of the PVR-350 card. Look for Multimedia video controller: "Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2". Mine shows as: 
	0000:02:02.0
Which contains the bus, slot, and function. Convert to: 
	BusID "PCI:02:02:0"
Run the following to show the frame buffers. 
	cat /proc/fb
Before having the PVR-350 installed, mine shows: 
	0 VGA16 VGA
Running the following shows the devices. 
	ls /dev/fb* shows
Before the PVR-350 is installed, mine shows: 
	/dev/fb0
After changing xorg.conf, /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows 
	(EE) fglrx(0): ivtvHWProvbe failed to do IVTVFB_IOCTL_GET_STATE for device /dev/fb0
This is because the ivtv-fb driver is not loaded. Use modprobe ivtv-fb, and then a /dev/fb1 device is created. To load automatically, create a file /etc/init.d/ivtv and add lines in file as follows: 
	modprobe ivtv
	modprobe ivtv-fb # if using PVR-350 and framebuffer
Make it executable 
	$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/ivtv

	sudo update-rc.d ivtv defaults 12
Video can get messed up unless the following is added to /boot/grub/menu.lst. 
	kopt=vga=792
I must have gotten the following error at some point. 
	(EE) IVTVDEV_TST(0)Framebuffer id from dev /dev/fb1is 1
Means driver should not be ivtv-0.4.2? Running grep fb /var/log/messages shows: 
	Feb  3 20:29:18 localhost kernel: [   19.363808] vga16fb: mapped to 0xffff8100000a0000
	Feb  3 20:29:18 localhost kernel: [   19.449396] fb0:/ VGA16 VGA frame buffer device

	cd ~/downloads/ivtv/
	wget http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00496/ivtv-xorg.tar.bz2
	tar xvjf ivtv-xorg.tar.bz2
from http://www.abarbaccia.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,39/expv,0/topic,67.new
	sudo cp usr/lib64/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
Use cat /proc/fb to see the frame buffers. After everything is configured properly, mine says 
	0 VGA16 VGA
	1 cx23415 TV out
