I too am having Too Much Fun trying to get mythfrontend running
entirely on the TV out port. I have MythTV successfully installed.
The backend runs and records, and the frontend plays back and plays
live TV to the TV out port of the PVR-350. At the moment, I'm running
the frontend via an X11 ssh tunnel to the iBook on the coffee table--it
runs just fine this way, but it's obviously not the best solution.
When I try to start X, it gives an odd error but does not quit:
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument
Looking at the logfile, the primary device doesn't match what I
set with the BusID line in the config file:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 03:00:0
(**) FBDEV(0): claimed PCI slot 1:6:0
The X server *is* running. The window manager, blackbox, is also
running, it appears in the process table. But the TV screen is black.
Stranger, when I give up and kill the X server, there is half a text
console on the TV screen. There is a blinking block cursor. No text
appears, but input on the console keyboard is accepted. I can log in.
(I blindly ran "fortune | wall" to confirm that.)
My full config files, log files, and the relevant part of 'lspci -v's
output are here:
