[mythtv-users] Epia M: LiveTV blank

[Bill Weir]

Ivor,

- AGP aperature in BIOS was 64M; I have now enlarged it to 256M - perhaps
this was the wrong direction - not sure what the aperature does. Now -v all
gives continuously repeating messages like this:
	2005-03-20 14:24:33.532 Broadcasting free space avail
	2005-03-20 14:24:33.536 audio waiting for buffer to fill: have 3072
want 4096

Occasionally interspersed with
	2005-03-20 14:24:33.577 Timed out waiting for free video buffers.
	2005-03-20 14:24:33.577 Attempting video sync thread restart

- Still nothing notable in Xorg.0.log (I think)

- Yes I have included the EnableAGPDMA in the Device section, per Jaxon
Lee's doc:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "via"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "S3 UniChrome"
#  Bill Added stuff per
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=26963&group_id=102048
# 3/20/05
    Option "DisableIRQ"
    Option "EnableAGPDMA"
EndSection

Screen for "VideoCard0" is as follows (depth is 16 or 24? I'm new to X):
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Hi,

What size is your AGP window in the BIOS?

Do you have:
    Option "EnableAGPDMA" "true"
in your X.org device section?

What res/depth  are you trying to run at?
