This page is mainly as a reminder for me to get my current test box, tv2, up and running. You may find it instructive, amusing, or downright depressing.

• Start apache. It should start by itself, but it doesn't.
• Load the old cxm driver to correctly initialize the card. It seems that you have to copy to disk to get all the initialization done.

  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /home/grog 8 -> cd /boot/modules/
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 9 -> rm cxm*
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 10 -> ln pvr250/* .
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 11 -> kldload cxm
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 12 -> setchannel -m 8 2
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 13 -> dev/cxm0 > /var/tmp/foo
  
  
  ^C
  

• Unload the driver and load the new one. Same thing again, but also, for broken MythTV, make the cxm0 device writeable:

  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 18 -> kldunload cxm
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 19 -> rm cxm*
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 20 -> ln pvrXXX/* .
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 21 -> kldload cxm
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 22 -> chmod 666 /dev/cxm0
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 23 -> setchannel -t -m 8 2
  ioctl(tfd, METEORSINPUT) failed.: Invalid argument
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 24 -> setchannel -m 8 2
  === root@tv2 (/dev/ttyp1) /boot/modules 25 -> dev/cxm0 > /var/tmp/foo
  ^C
  

• As mythtv, start mythbackend:

  === grog@tv2 (/dev/ttyp0) /var/tmp 4 -> su - mythtv
  Password:
  Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
  Lisp hackers have to be bound (to-do 'it)....
  === mythtv@tv2 (/dev/ttyp0) ~ 1 -> cd /var/tmp/
  === mythtv@tv2 (/dev/ttyp0) /var/tmp 8 -> l /dev/cxm0 
  crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 113 Mar 10 12:37 /dev/cxm0
  === mythtv@tv2 (/dev/ttyp0) /var/tmp 9 -> mythbackend &

  This last message is from a call to setpriority. It can't work, but seems to be harmless.
