[mythtv-users] Problem ajusting contrast/brightness/color

[Reza Naima]

It could also be a database problem.   I had the exact same thing happen
to me because I didn't have the proper brightness/etc set in the
database.  What happens is it tries to read the old value to change it,
but the old value is 0, so it updates it to 0+1. 

Try this -

get your screen to go black, then exit mythtv
run xawtv, go to config screen and look at the
contrast/hue/brightness/etc... see if they're set to zero.  try
increasing them and see if it fixes it.

If that works, then try reinstalling your database.
