<font face="Arial">This is a long story, so I'll try to keep short. I
had separate X servers running on my pc monitor and the Pvr350's tvout
port (to connected tv). The GUI image was too large for the TV, so I
tried to correct it. Most attempts didn't work, but they didn't hurt
anything. After trying this suggestion:<br>
.....<br>
</font><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2" color="black"><font
face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2" color="black">Edit /etc/X11/<b

style="color: black; background-color: rgb(170, 170, 255);">conf</b>
and in the [server-Standard] section, change: <br>
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 <br>
to <br>
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 -audit 0 </font></font><br>

, the pc locked up and had to be hard reset. After rebooting,
xorg.conf and gdm.conf were both trashed (garbage throughout). I got
xorg.conf restored from a backup, and got a clean (??) copy of gdm.conf
from another pc. Now, I can run either server, but not both at the
same time. Here are some symptoms:<br>
<br>
- Run X on pc monitor only, works and mythtv plays on pvr350 tvout port<br>
- Run X on pvr350 tvout, works and mythtv plays on tvout port<br>
- Run both from a clean boot, computer freezes (needs hard reset)<br>
<br>
But, if I do this, both work once.<br>
<br>
- Run X on pc monitor only<br>
- Play live tv on mythtv on on pvr350 tvout<br>
- Logout of X, turn both servers back on, startx again<br>
- X runs on both, but:<br>
- at startup the tv speaker buzzes<br>
- Tv shows the X session for a couple of seconds, goes blank<br>
- Move mouse over to Tv display, and X session is repainted
wherever the mouse is moved.<br>
- Play live tv on pvr350 tvout, it works<br>
- Logout of X<br>
- Run X again, computer freezes <br>
<br>
Any suggestions on what to try? Thanks,<br>

PS - Here's part of the xorg.conf file. I turn the monitor and pvr350
on / off by commenting out the appropriate line(s) in the server layout
section.<br>
