[mythtv-users] AMD/ATI graphics card questions

[Carl Hunter]

This is my first attempt at using an AMD/ATI graphics card with Mythtv 
(Mythbuntu 14.04).  I've always used NVIDIA before this but had some 
extra hardware that I wanted to try.  I've got an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7570 
with HDMI out.  What is considered the best driver for this card in 
combination with Mythtv?  The open source driver or the fglrx driver or 
something else?  What playback profile should go along with the driver 
from the previous question?

Currently I have the fglrx driver running but have some issues.

I can't seem to get into the setup menu to change the playback profile.  
I hit enter on Playback and nothing happens.  I can't do anything until 
I hit the back button.  Then I can move up and down in the menu again.  
I'm questioning if this is a separate issue independent of the graphics 
driver.  I just didn't notice before the upgrade.

With the NVIDIA driver I could VNC into the box and still control the 
menus in Myth.  With the fglrx driver I can't.  I'm wondering if this 
has to do with the OpenGL menus.  If I close Myth the keyboard and mouse 
both work in the desktop.

I can't seem to get sound to work outside of Myth.  It works fine in 
Myth.  I'm using HDMI to a TV.  I've disabled the onboard sound card so 
only the HDMI sound device shows up in lspci.

I think that's it for now.  Thanks for the help.
