Steve,<br><br>Remote frontend is working now. What I did might be unique to my setup.<br><br>Deleted my xorg.conf file, rebooted. Voila, everything works fine.<br><br>In an X-Files kind of development (pun intended), I now have *no* xorg.conf file! I'll look into this later. I'm guessing the new LINUX ATI drivers [ <a href="http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html">http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html</a> ] for the Radeon that's on my remote frontend has something to do with this.<br>
<br>I installed this new driver *after* discovering 0.21 wouldn't work on the remote frontend, so I don't know if simply deleting xorg.conf and rebooting would have worked as a first step.<br><br>Before, when I would invoke "xvinfo" I'd get:<br>
<br>"X-Video Extension version 2.2<br>screen #0"<br><br>and a comment that there was NO ADAPTOR. Now, xvinfo delivers many lines of info!<br><br>Also, mythfrontend reports:<br><br>"VideoOutputXv: XVideo Adaptor Name: 'ATI Radeon Video Overlay'"<br>
<br>where before it was unable to find the adaptor. . . which might be why "xv-blit" wouldn't work.<br><br>Recall that everything worked fine with 0.20, so don't know which variables I changed were actually necessary.<br>
<br>*NOW* everything works fine with 0.21. Live OTA HD works better on master and remote. Can't complain!<br><br>Hope there are enough keywords in this to help the next person!<br><br>Thanks for the feedback and. . .<br>
<br>. . . GO HAVE FUN! -- Oji --<br></font></font></font>
