LinHES

After many hours of googling, I think the kicking out of Watch Tv is a backend error, however this doesn't change the display settings wouldn't uddate xorg file.

Please post your xorg.conf.

I can see tv now, however really locked up, jerky & jumpy and graphics driver makes a sound like crumpling paper. acts like not enough memmory I have 1 GB.

How is it, that you can see TV now? What did you do? In terms of performance issues, you need to start investigating the mythtv logs. If you feel this is an issue, you need to open another ticket.

I had a channel change script setup in myth backend and I think it was hosing me, it acts like a codec problem now. I will investigate logs, and see if I can figure out what is going on now.

Maybe you can make something of these?

Installed r6 tonight. Could not force TV-out in r6 via LinHes menus -- always VGA was result. (I could force TV-out in r5.5 by adding two lines to xorg.conf. But don't know how in r6.) Maybe related to this bug? Also, like Scott said, get stuttering, stopping, locked up video (unresolved in r5.5 or r6 fresh installs). This is the Atomic Ant card (Sparkle 8400GS PCI). (MX4000 on this system r5.5 fresh install could largely handle ATSC, though maxed CPU). Maybe will have better luck when r6 Tweaker finished? System: Dell Dimension 2400 2.4 GHz - 1.2gb ram - Sparkle GeForce 8400GS (was MX4000 128MB) PCI TV-out - HDHomeRun dual ATSC over gigabit. :)

Could'nt really see any problems. Stumped

I've tested with a 6200 and a MX400 and am unable to duplicate any TV issues. Any performace issue should be opened against another ticket.

Hi, I have an MX440 and have trouble with getting T.V. out to work. And nearly everything described above (except teh s-Video). I can get it to work under other mythtv distros but not under R6 or R5.5. I don't know if this information helps but at least Scott is not the only one anymore.

Realizing that the MX440 is an older card I decided to remove it and go buy a $40 PC to TV converter. It allows me to continue using LinHes and what I consider to be more robust features, and until I can afford newer hardware. Like a T.V. that understands S-Video. DVI... those sorts of upgrades.

Could this be related to FS#434? scooter29 reported that R5.5 used the 173.x.x drivers for his card, but r6 only offers 96.x.x and 185.x.x. Perhaps 96.x.x doesn't work best for the 5200?

The config script drops back to the legacy 96.x.x drivers in too many cases when it could use one of the newer ones. This is definitely the case for the FX5200 and represents a regression from R5.5 where it uses the 173.14.09 driver for my FX5200. The older drivers simply don't work right with the HD output and the install ends up failing because of them.
