[mythtvnz] Gentoo - persevere or try Knoppmyth?

[Mike Dilger]

I found ivtv doesn't (didn't?) work with kernel 2.6.17.  If you just 
want to fix it and move on, downgrade the kernel.  2.6.16 works fine.  I 
don't think knoppmyth will fix this, because AFAIK they won't have the 
bleeding edge kernel either, and the game controller may not work in any 
case.
