[mythtv-users] Re: Asus Pundit DVI out

[George Herndon]

Barry,

I'm not using the DVI out, but rather the TV out under FC1 and XFree 
4.3.  I'm having the same issue in X, TV reports no signal.  I've used 
the sis drivers from winischhofer under rh9 with great success before, 
so i'm wondering if this is a FC1 or X 4.3 issue.  I get video during 
machine post / boot, so at least my video out hardware connections are 
correct.  One odd thing too is that i can't get the sisctrl to load.  
yes, i've read the docs and i've got identical versions of sis_drv and 
sisctrl and the requisite entries in XF86Config device section.  This 
was of course working fairly well prior to my most recent apt-get 
update which added  version XFree86-4.3.0-55 to my system.

Obviously there are more qualified (experienced) users out there who 
can offer us both advice, but i wanted to contribute to the dialogue 
and hopefully get some help myself.

Hope this helps,

George
