I installed the 1.5 drivers yesterday. I did the same thing the previous version's readme did. I untarred it, put ran make, make install, and minstall. They work fine for me, though I'm on an older 2.6 kernel with my PCHDTV box.
I did not build a custom kernel. I'm using a stock FC3 kernel. I did have to mess with UDEV entries to get it to work on boot. Technically the minstall script doesn't quite work right for FC3. For me, the new driver works about the same without so many console warnings. I have not tried working them into an install with ivyTV drivers, as this box isn't going to touch my production mythbox until I figure out why audio isn't working consistently, a problem I've had for a while. :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mercury Morris Sent: Friday, December 24, 2004 12:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Good news for pcHDTV folks - new drivers out today On Mon, 20 Dec 2004 22:56:19 -0500, john roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Good news - looks like the v1.5 drivers were released today. > > I've had good luck with them under 2.6.9. Yes, I would call it just that, "luck". Has anyone else had a look at the 1.5 drivers? If so, were you brave enough to try to follow the README(s) included? I am not that brave. I found three README files, two called README and one called README.ivtv. These files could hardly be called "complete installation instructions". John, if you truly did succeed in getting the 1.5 drivers to work, would you be kind enough to tell the rest of us, in detail, how you did it? Did you build a new kernel? How did you figure out what the READMEs instruct us to do? I certainly will not risk a working system by trying to follow an incomplete set of instructions. Just two nights ago, I was able, for the first time, to watch HDTV and SDTV on side-by-side TV sets. "King of Queens" was the program, and while it's not an HDTV Showcase program, the difference blew me away. I would love to try the new 1.5 drivers, but not if it means missing the Packers-Vikings game in HDTV, due to my inability to follow the READMEs. Thanks for any details you might be willing to post here, so that the rest of us HD-3000 owners might be able to move up to 1.5. -- MM
