Removing the patch results in a build error, this is the same error I got trying to follow the instruction on http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Gentoo I think that the xorg in ~x86 migth be sligthly newer then when this driver was created, this thread http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2006-June/138751.html seems to indicate something like this also, thanks for your help. ----------------------------build error i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DXFree86Server -DIN_MODULE -DXFree86Module -DXFree86LOADER -I/usr/include/xorg -march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -MT ivtv_xv.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/ivtv_xv.Tpo -c ivtv_xv.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ivtv_xv.o ivtv_xv.c: In function 'IvtvInitVideo': ivtv_xv.c:110: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memcpy' ivtv_xv.c: In function 'IVTVSetupImageVideoOverlay': ivtv_xv.c:322: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type ivtv_xv.c: In function 'IVTVStopVideo': ivtv_xv.c:466: error: 'errno' undeclared (first use in this function) ivtv_xv.c:466: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ivtv_xv.c:466: error: for each function it appears in.) ivtv_xv.c: In function 'de_macro_y': ivtv_xv.c:515: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memcpy' ivtv_xv.c: In function 'IVTVPutImage': ivtv_xv.c:707: error: 'O_RDWR' undeclared (first use in this function) ivtv_xv.c:708: error: 'errno' undeclared (first use in this function) ivtv_xv.c:708: error: 'ENODEV' undeclared (first use in this function) make[2]: *** [ivtv_xv.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6/work/xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6/work/xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

Hello Since my latest porblem was in "C" land I started to investigate it more and adding some #include statement to ivtv_xv.c manage to get it to build ----------- add this to ivtv_xv.c in the begining #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> ------------------------------ This should be safe to add for older systems also, I think that ivtv_xv.c got this defines via another .h file and this file changed. This is usually what happens to me anyway. Ill try to add a ticket for this in ivtvdriver.org I don't have my system up so I can't make diff/patch and upload it here so I hope my instructions are ok for you all. Thanks for the help. /Zingo
After the compiling went fine the running didn't so there is probably more xorg 7.1.1 issues, the current problem is that the xorg is crashing with almost no output ---- end of Xorg.0.log ------- ...

Hello (Sorry for the late testing) I tried you ivtv-svn tar and I have the same problem, I have to add ----------- add this to ivtv_xv.c in the begining #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> ------------------------------ To make it build and I still get the Backtrace: 0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x85) [0x80cb325] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting I tried to add -g on the gcc line and start it using "gdb xinit" but that gave nothing, but this was just a fast atempt so maybe -g is not debug anymore (or it never was in gcc) or I put it in the wrong section in the makefile. I didn't manage to report the .h file problem above to ivtvdriver.org since I didn't manage to add a ticket for it, sorry for that. Since we migth not have the same version as others (I live on ~x86) I did a emerge -s xorg so my version are visiable, if this gives somebody a clue. * x11-base/xorg-server Latest version available: 1.1.1 Latest version installed: 1.1.1 Size of files: 9,096 kB Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ Description: X.Org X servers License: xorg-server MIT * x11-base/xorg-x11 Latest version available: 7.1 Latest version installed: 7.1 Size of files: 0 kB Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org Description: An X11 implementation maintained by the X.Org Foundation (meta package) License: as-is Je_fro, thanks for your help and support.

Thanks je_fro for all the support and help.
Sorry for my ignorance, but does this mean that we can now run X on the TVout of the Hauppage-350 card? whereas before you could only play mythtv shows through the TVout/decoder but still had to run X through your video card. Dave
According to http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=XDriverHowTo "Note, this X driver still requires that the ivtv-fb driver be installed. Using this driver just optimizes the connection between the X server and the ivtv framebuffer."

You could always run an xserver on the ivtv framebuffer but it is very slow. This adds xv capabilities, in other words fast and you can do magic with the picture. And when I am on the subject, thanks for comitting this ;-) I will try it on my mythbox and report if it's working.

okay, let me take a look...
I've got preliminary reports that compilation is broken agains xorg-7.1. Are you using that by chance? Thanks.

I can't reproduce that same error, can you post the entire output from emerge xf86-video-ivtvdev ? Thanks
Any reccomendation for those who upgraded to Xorg 7.1? Is that a fundamentally broken combo? Thanks.
at this time, yes...the ivtv xdriver doesn't appear to work with xorg 7.1 ~sorry!~

Okay, there has been progress by Ian Campbell (god bless him :). He's got a new driver working that you can download here: http://www.hellion.org.uk/ivtv/debian/ There are precompiled drivers ivtvdev_drv.so~$ARCH, and the amd64 version works great here. He's created a source package too, which can be generated by downloading xserver-xorg-video-ivtvdev_0.10.6.orig.tar.gz extracting and renaming it (xserver-xorg-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6) and a patch xserver-xorg-video-ivtvdev_0.10.6-1~unreleased.1.diff.gz. The trouble is that it's some kind of debian package and I can't get it to build a working driver. I end up with a driver of a different size than his, and it crashes X. jeff 1000 33032 2006-10-24 22:37 ivtvdev_drv.so <--my driver (broken) root root 32696 2006-10-25 04:11 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.so <--Ian's driver (working) If anyone can get his source compiled properly, I'd sure be interested to hear about it. :D Thanks, je_fro
(Ian's new driver works with xorg-7.1. I was unclear about that.)
(In reply to comment #34) > If anyone can get his source compiled properly, I'd sure be interested to hear > about it. :D There is a patch in the debian/patches folder which you need to apply. patch -p1 < debian/patches/00_xorg_7_1 When using the src and the patch from http://www.hellion.org.uk/ivtv/debian/ I can confirm all my issues with xorg-7.1 and ivtvdev have gone away. Hurray ;-)
Gah! Ian even told me about that.... Okay, look for the new package in portage tomorrow...
I didn't even realize it was actually in portage yet, I still had it in overlay. However mine still hasn't changed, has this happened yet? or was that just a joke, like FREE BEER TOMORROW :-D
still not compatible with xorg-7.1 yet....it'll be done by tonight...

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for your work. Just want give some feedback; the xf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6-r1.ebuild now cleanly compiles on my box (x86). However, when starting the X Server it gives next error: (EE) LoadModule: Module ivtvdev does not have a ivtvdevModuleData data object. (EE) Failed to load module "ivtvdev" (invalid module, 0) At start of the X server it tells me that it is version 7.1.1, though I have org-x11 7.1 emerged?
Yeah, sorry for the hassle.... Real life has intervened and I need a couple days to get this fixed. Thanks, je_fro
Hi, I'm also trying xorg 7.1. Using ivtv-0.8.1 and using the abovexf86-video-ivtvdev-0.10.6-r1.ebuild, ivtv-0.10.6-r1-autotools.patch and ivtv-0.10.6-r1-xorg.patch (why is the last one dashed out???)

(BTW: it also complains "libtoolize: `config.guess' exists: use `--force' to overwrite" but I'm not sure if this really hurts...)
Heya Roalt.... Sorry I'm taking so long to get this done....I'm facing a crunch at the end of the semester, and I barely have time to have a decent meal! I'm sure the build problems arise from xorg-7.1, so see if you can use the binary for awhile until I can patch this package...
Hi Jeffrey, Don't spoil your semester, and more importantly, don't forget to eat! Adding '#include <asm/types.h>' on line 10 in ivtvhw.h solves the compilation issue (just before the #include <linux/ivtv.h> line). xorg is now only complaining: (EE) LoadModule: Module ivtvdev does not have a ivtvdevModuleData data object. Looking further myself to see if this is caused by my manual building of the module...
Kernel and driver development is happening too fast for this driver to keep up...masking until things settle down.
Im in the same boat with an unusable mythtv box now that ive upgraded to xorg 7.1 and would like to offer help testing whatever you might have. -DB (In reply to comment #49) > Kernel and driver development is happening too fast for this driver to keep > up...masking until things settle down. >
I'll be back on it when things settle down...
so whats everyone doing as a "workaround" till the dust settles? can we go back to version 7.0? will the ivtvdev work with it? I cant seem to emerge 6.9 or any earlier versions. -db (In reply to comment #51) > I'll be back on it when things settle down... >
Speaking for myself, I'm still using one of these binaries... http://www.hellion.org.uk/ivtv/debian/ivtvdev_drv.so~amd64 http://www.hellion.org.uk/ivtv/debian/ivtvdev_drv.so~i386 The folks above claim to be able to compile Ian Campbells' source, with a couple of patches, but I haven't been able to do that with media-tv/ivtv-0.8.2.
All, The Xdriver was updated with many fixes and improvements. Please be aware this needs >=kernel headers 2.6.18. If people want to be adventures please try it out and report to the list how it went. Announcement on the devel list: Just before John Harvey went on vacation he delivered a first Xdriver version that supports Xorg 7.x (as well as older Xorg/Xfee86 servers). It's available for download here: http://ivtvdriver.org/viewcvs/xdriver/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar It's only been tested against 7.1 servers so any feedback is welcome. Next weekend, when John is back from his vacation, he will start on any remaining issues (including merging some pending patches from Ian Armstrong) and his aim is to get a full release out in the next 3-4 weeks. According to John the performance of this new Xdriver has been improved significantly. So please test and post any problems on this list!
There has been another round of fixes and improvements on the xdriver (now autotooled). No official release yet but I suspect there will be one soon. Link to the trunk remains the same. It should also work on kernels 2.6.22 which has ivtv included. This needs testing so please get the source build it and report your findings on the user list ivtv-users@ivtvdriver.org. Even if it just works let us know :-)
Ok, version 1 has now been released. It should be working with the default x-modular eclass but I have no time to check this out. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/36974
Cool, I'll drag a television into my office and check it out...
