Using your Hauppauge 350 TV OUT in X Windows

After you're all done installing IVTV and you've rebooted, it's time to setup your X server to use your Hauppauge 350 card's TV out as your video card. To do this, you first need to find out which PCI bus the card is on. Do this by running the command: "lspci -v" from the command prompt (xterm). Scroll up through the output with SHIFT-PGUP until you see a section like this:

0000:02:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR-350
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 21
Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

This shows me that the PCI card is at address "0000:02:01.0". As far as X Windows is concerned, we're going to call this "PCI:02:01". Below is the contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Notice in the "Device" section the line:

BusID "PCI:02:01"

You'll need to format your 350's bus id in this line according to the results you got earlier by the "lspci -v" command.
