automatic modules loading for ivtv

Fresh install of FC8 Mythtv from package. Work great but I can't find
how to setup auto loading of some module.

To get the X via PVR350 I have to manually load ivtvfb module then I can
do startx. I want to boot automatically up to mythtv screen so where i
put the command to laod that module soon enough that X will start
correctly.

I suppose that it's in etc/modprobe.conf but can't find how to write it.

Also, I need to load the needed module for the remote.

I manually load them via:

/sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
/sbin/modprobe lirc_dev
/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
/sbin/modprobe lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8

lircd already start automatically.
ivtv module already start automatically and my card are recognised pvr350, pvr500

once manually loaded mythtv work fine except for sound because can't figure out how to configure my card.
Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia

I get :

aplay
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
aplay: main:564: audio open error: Connexion refusée

Thanks for help

Claude

On Fedora, you should put modprobe commands in a file(s) having the
extension ".modules" in the /etc/sysconfig/modules/ directory. They
are then loaded during sysinit and before X starts.

Create a new file in /etc/sysconfig/modules/ directory with .modules
extension and put something like this in it:

modprobe ivtvfb

etc. (you may have to make the file executable, not sure).

However, if you are doing fresh install anyway, why are you using F8? It
is going to be de-supported (including no new mythtv packages) in a
couple of weeks.

You're wright I should think of FC10. Do mythtv already work on fedora
10. And PVR350 still supported ?

Thank you

Do you recommend upgrading from FC8 or fresh install of FC10

Fresh install works best.

You may also consider something like CentOS 5.2 for its long term
support. Everything you need is on atrpms too.

So I've installed FC10 x86_64 fresh install but as I went to install
mythtv-suite package there are two missing dependency:

libdirectfb-1.0.so.0()(64bit)
and PIL

How to get around that

Thanks

Claude

There doesn't appear to be any MythTV x86_64 for F10 either. You'll
either have to wait for the binaries to be built for F10, revert to
F9, or learn to compile your own MythTV binaries.

PIL (python-imaging) still causes ridiculous conflicts as both Fedora
and atrpms provide their own packages, but with different names which
conflict if the Fedora version is installed and you try to update
MythTV (which in turn attempts to drag in PIL).

I'd also suggest subscribing to the atrpms-users list (or at least
reading it regularly). Support has only just been announced for F10,
so if some builds are being stopped by build erros, you might have to
wait for them to be fixed.

I ran into this dependency issue when trying to install the mplayer
package for Fedora 10 from the atrpms.net repository. I gave up trying to
solve the issue and got the SVN of mplayer which compiled fine, also got
the SVN of MythTv 0.21.

Some good pointers here -
