<br>
I'm struggling with the
onboard 8200 video and its ability to detect my connected display
device.
I've installed the 177.80 driver from atrpms. Anyway, VGA works just
fine. Both DVI and HDMI work, but only if the cable is directly
connected to
the TV. If I connect the cable to a receiver instead of the TV, the onboard display
adapter does not detect anything. This scenario worked fine before I
upgraded to this board. But then I
was using an AGP FX 5200 (or maybe it was FX-5500).<br>
<br>
I did notice the myth menus paint VERY slowly with this new hardware.
I assume this is a manifestation of the poor performance some have mentioned previously.<br>
<br>
Could there be some magical option inside xorg.conf that would fix the
display detect issue?? if not, maybe I'll just bite the bullet and get
a PCI-E 7200GS card or something similar.<br>
