Subject: S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro IGP<br>To: Discussion about mythtv <<a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a>><br><br><br>I just got myself a JetWay VIA C7 mini-ITX board. (one of these: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153050R" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153050R</a>)<br>
<br>I have it working, to some degree, but I think I'm having trouble with my xorg.conf. I can't seem to make it run the display at a reasonable resolution. I'm using the "openchrome" drivers, with an S-video connection to my NTSC SD CRT TV (how's THAT for acronyms!), running on Mythbuntu 8.04. When connected only to the TV, it seems to run happily at 640 x 480, but earlier in the day, I seemed to "trick" it into working at a higher resolution. I had the machine configured in BIOS to output only to the CRT (on the normal D-sub output). I booted the machine into Mythbuntu, then restarted X. Then, for some reason that I cannot explain, both the TV and the CRT were displaying (both were switched on, but prior to the X restart, but the TV was blank) at a resolution of 1024 x 768. This seemed to work well, until I restarted the machine, set the BIOS to display only to the TV, and tried to boot. Now, I'm back to 640 x 480. I imagine this is due to a modeline issue in my xorg.conf, but I'm not not very experienced with setting this up. I had the same TV working with an nvidia FX5200, but the motherboard on that machine was flaky, and I decided to give the low-power end a try. <br>
<br>So that's my story, I tried to keep it succinct. I'm also trying to get it to use XVMC. If anyone has experience with these boards, or TV-out to an NTSC SDTV via S-video, I'd appreciate any tips you can provide.<br>
