Hi
i am really new in mythtv. This Program is really great and thanks for
all developers!!!
I have successfully compiled a cvs version of mythtv. Everything is
working fine for me.
But- the next step is watching live tv over my tv-out connector.
I'm not sure that my problem is a real myth problem or a general X11
Driver Problem.
Here is my Problem description and environment:
Hardware:
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro with TV-Out (I want to use them...)
PVR350 as MPEG Card
VIA Chipset with AMD Athlon
Software:
CVS-mythtv (actual)
Original ATI Driver for Linux in Version: fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6
X11 in Version 4.3.0.1
Linux Distribution based on SuSE Linux 9.0 Prof with Kernel 2.6.4 and
some needed Packages for mythtv
I use a special clone mode for dual viewing on my LCD and TV. I can
switch this mode on or off in the ATI Control Center.
If i switch "clone mode" on i can see my X11 Screen on my TV. This is
what i want, but if i am watching live TV with xv support in X11 then is
my window on TV black. if i switch xv support off in my x11 config then
it's possible to watch both live-tv on my LCD and TV but the pictures
are very choppy and it's impossible to enjoy mythtv.
Now, i have spend a lot of time in resolving this problem, and my
girlfriend doesn't know my name anymore... and i have no more Ideas.
Has anybody some experience in watching live tv with ati cards and xv
support?
regards
Oliver
