I also had the issue with the duplicate videos. The duplicate videos<br>
one ontop of the other is an issue with the deinterlacer I was using at<br>
the time. Are you using Bob(2x)? I got the same picture issue as you<br>
described, two copies of the video, with Bob. When I changed to a<br>
different deinterlacer, it went away. Play with your deinterlacers and<br>
you should be able to get that issue to go away, at least. I think I<br>
ended up using Kernel, perhaps? I cant remember... but I was able to<br>
fix that issue, for sure.<br>
<br>
Heres something else to try, for the screen garble running in full<br>
screen mode. I think it had something to do with when mythfrontend was<br>
trying to use DRI. Try turning DRI off in the xorg.conf file (not sure<br>
the command, sorry, I just removed permissions to /dev/dri/video0 so<br>
that mythfrontend couldnt access it), and the screen garble seemed to go<br>
away. I'm afraid not using DRI is why I was having screen tearing<br>
issues -- not positive of that however -- but at least not using it<br>
didnt garble the screen.<br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure thats how I fixed it on my system, had to look back over<br>
the notes I was taking at the time of all the different things I was<br>
trying. :)<br>
<br>
If you get the screen garble to go away, please report if you have any<br>
issues with video tearing, with the HD 3200. I'm curious to hear.<br>
<br>
BTW, I have the same motherboard as you. Well, almost. Mines the DS3H.<br>
<br>
Good luck...<br>
