<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Just a quick message in reply to myself, as after some messing about I found a quick fix for this issue, so though it might be helpful for someone else.<br>I now have the latest proprietary radeon drivers installed (HD7750 card) ,using a method which is actually the same as;<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj0oND69is0" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj0oND69is0</a><br>Working on ubuntu 14.04 fine - cloned screens, matching resolutions and overscan issues all resolved.<br>Performance much better than open drivers, especially on 3D/games etc...<br>Ended up on mythtv 0.28, and fixed the menus issue by overriding the Themepainter at startup using the frontend and backend options -O themepainter=qt.<br>Qt works fine, so was I then able to change settings permanently<br>Everything back to normal, and working fine!<br><br><br>> From: plainfaceboy@hotmail.com<br><div>> To: mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br>> Subject: Open Radeon drivers with cloned displays, or proprietary drivers with Mythtv?<br>> Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2015 23:25:05 +0000<br>> <br>> The proprietary radeon drivers work ok for me in that I can use my HDMI and <br>> VGA screens cloned at 1280x768, and I can adjust the overscan on the HDMI - <br>> using the Catalyst control centre. Card is a HD 7750.<br>> <br>> Big problem is though, I can't get into my Mythtv set up menus - front end <br>> (some eg video playback) or back end set up.<br>> See my previous post - "Mythtv - backend set up, and some frontend menus not <br>> working (with Radeon 7750)". I select them, but nothing happens, but I can <br>> escape out back to the menu.<br>> <br>> My two options seem to be get the mythtv menus to work with the proprietary <br>> drivers?<br>> <br>> Or go back to the open drivers.<br>> I know these work ok with mythtv, as I removed the proprietary drivers and <br>> it was ok....<br>> But, can anyone help me set these up so I can use two cloned 'displays' <br>> (both on same TV - VGA and HDMI).<br>> Cloning only works with resolutions common to both - highest is 640x480, so <br>> not really much good.<br>> HDMI is always off the edge of the screen as well, but there's no option to <br>> adjust overscan?<br>> With the proprietary drivers and the catalyst control centre I could adjust <br>> these, and I had other options for resolutions for both eg 1280x768 - but <br>> these doesn't exist in the display settings with the open driver.<br>> I tried creating a xorg.conf file and editing that, but that didn't work out <br>> well :-/<br>> <br>> Can anyone help?<br>> <br>> <br></div> </div></body>
