<P>I am currently collecting the HW I will use to build my MythTv box. One point i am unclear on is regarding the need for a video card. I've already purchased a WinTv PVR-350 - do I also need a regular video card? I'm planning on using SuSE 9.1. Do I need a video card to do the OS install, or can I do it with just the PVR 350 and a TV (I think the answer should be "no")? If I have a video card, do i even need a TV - can I just stream the video to a nice flat-panel LCD and be rid of the TV forever? Finally, what video card would you recommend I use? For that matter, how about sound cards? I'd like Dolby 5.1, THX, whatever I can get. Current (planned) system specs:</P>
<P>1) AMD64 3800+, 1G RAM, 1.2T SATA HD, WinTv PVR-350</P>
<P>2) SuSE 9.1</P>
<P>Any and all help is greatly appreciated.<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Subject: [mythtv-users] FX5200 monitor + tv out, xorg.conf

<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I have searched the mailing list and Googled, but I am still having a
<DIV></DIV>>hard time getting the monitor and tv out of my FX5200 to work at the
<DIV></DIV>>same time (or the tv out to work at all).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Using Gentoo, 2.6.9 nitro kernel, and nvidia kernel.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Got it to work briefly, but only when the machine booted and it would
<DIV></DIV>>stop working with X started. Now all I get is black on the tv and not
<DIV></DIV>>really sure what I changed to hose it up.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Could some kind soul provide a xorg.conf for this kind of a setup plus
<DIV></DIV>>any pointers or a howto?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Thanks;
<DIV></DIV>>Dan
