Hi Cecil,
Thanks for answering. I have been Googling but I'm not a developer
or software guy so much of the fine stuff gets by me.
1) On the mythtvbackend machine we have an Intel device:
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82865G Integrated
Graphics Device (rev 02)
2) On my laptop I have an ATI:
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M9+ 5C61
[Radeon Mobility 9200 (AGP)] (rev 01)
The Intel is very new but so far I canot get Myth to display anything
there. I would have thought it would support everything since it's
Intel.
I'm just now building mythfrontend on my laptop to see if I can view
it on the Radeon. Actually the laptop has an svideo plug on it so I
might even hope to eventually drive a TV from it if things work out
right.
Is that enough to get an yes/no on each platform?
Thanks,
Mark
