I am using Jarods guide for the myth install as I <BR>> usually have done. However, with my nvidia card I can not get the 6767 <BR>> driver through yum, and if I download it it will not compile. I have tried <BR>> various other driver version and only the newest one with compile. But that <BR>> is not the worst of my problems... As I stated I am using the svideo out on <BR>> the card and I am then converting that to RCA to go the TV. However, upon <BR>> doing this I get the following results depending on the Xorg.conf.<BR>> <BR>> If I set the Xorg.conf video out to SVIDEO I get black and white display <BR>> only ( this is expected given the converter )<BR>> If I set the Xorg.conf video out to COMPOSITE the way my old Xorg.conf file <BR>> was in FC-3 then I get nothing. No video on the TV at all.<BR>> <BR>> I have tried booting the system with and without the VGA monitor attached. - <BR>> no change<BR>> I have the Xorg.conf file set to clone, and have removed all info reguarding <BR>> the VGA and disconnected it. - also no change.<BR>> <BR>> so... What can I do, I do get color displayed on the TV until the nvidia <BR>> driver takes over. Then it goes black and white. Once again I have used <BR>> the same setting from my FC-3 Xorg.conf file that works fine if if I drop in <BR>> my old hard drive with the exact same hardware, so it would seem that the <BR>> nvidea driver with FC-4 does not seem to work on my system.<BR>> <BR>> Any ideas?<BR>> <BR>> Thanks in advance.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> mythtv-users mailing list<BR>> mythtv-users@mythtv.org<BR>> http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<BR></P></body>
