[mythtv-users] MythTV - First Installation

[Santiago Almenara]

I think something is not working well.
 
When I use mplayer and press "F", the video doesn't resize.

I use kerneldeint interlacing and ffmpeg decoder, or kerneldeint and mpeg2 decoder, quality varies but still has some issues.

I was using ATI drivers from Ubuntu Edgy. I tried yesterday night to install the lastest driver from ati.amd.com over the ones Ubuntu provided. I followed the instrunction form Ubuntu wiki, but I think I did something wrong because I can't log into my system now.
 
I don't think if it would be faster to re-install the system than to discover the problem.

Tim´s right, but I would also suggest that you try kerneldeint interlacing.

ATI linux driver can be found here, your card is probably running the vesa driver wich is not very good imho.
