[mythtv] Tuner trouble...

Hi all,

Well, I've probably got 60+ hours into trying to get my Matrox G200 card
working and am very close but not "quite" there!  Maybe someone out there
can help please?

When I fire up mythfrontend (0.7) it comes up fine.  EPG is fine.  Go to
watch live TV and it fills my screen (monitor) and I hear sound coming out
my TV but the TV display is black with faint diagonal lines - like it's
tuned to the wrong channel.  I press "I" and the info comes up, up/down keys
change channels and audio changes too (correctly - and sounds good), so I'm
close here!  Audio card is SB Live 64 (detecting as ES 1371).  Any ideas
what's wrong?  Is it a "fine-tuning" thing?

What should my Matrox G200 TV card be detected as in BTTV for "tuner" and
"card" ??

Also, is my G200 supposed to be able to be both a Tuner, and also output the
video simultaneously?  It seems like I can either get the fb0 to work and my
output is "copied" to the video out, OR I can get the /dev/video0 to work -
and hence mythtv finds it and is happy, but not both.  Is that right?
(Note: the card worked fine in Windows).

 In case it helps, my modules.conf, syslog, dmesg, and XF86Config-4 files
are
attached.  Note, I tried the bttv option pll=0, 1, and 2 and that didn't
help, and in xawtv, hitting right-arrow to walk through the frequencies
didn't
work either.

 Thanks for any help you can give me.

 John
