[mythtv-users] Segmentation fault

[Jelle Kalf]

ok, here's what I did,
 
(based on gentoo installation)
 
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.99.901.ebuild unpack
then went into /var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.99.901/work/xc/....... until you
hit the via directory
Patched the 770 patch, patched the 857 patch, patched Ivor's patch and built
the whole thing, installed it. 
downloaded the clexf40038 lite binaries from the via site ( I don't know if
I have to use them, but I used some files like via_dri )... perhaps they
make a difference.. but I DID NOT replace via_driver.so .. the original
driver Xfree produces is working fine
 
Downloaded Ivor's libddmpeg-1.4 file. unpacked it, built it, installed it in
/usr/X11R6/lib/
ebuild /usr/portage/media-tv/mythtv/mythtv-0.13-r1.ebuild unpack
whent into /var/tmp/portage/mythtv-0.13-r1/work/mythtv-0.13/
modified the settings.pro file
then went out of that directory structure and did: 
ebuild /usr/portage/media-tv/mythtv/mythtv-0.13-r1.ebuild compile install
qmerge
(I damn the ebuild maker for removing the USE="via" option) (but
understandable seen it's very unstable)
 
configured the database, used mythsetup ... started up the backend as user
"root"
started X as user root. started mythfrontend as root. Got louzy performance
for now, but it works.. it's still in development.

Stuart,
 
are you using the mythfrontend with via hardware slices ?? aka. Via mpeg2
hardware decoding ??
If so, try running as root user. Else it will not work!!

Guess I thought I could get away without using Alsa, perhaps not.

 

Startup mythbackend (no problems), startup mythfrontend (no problems)

Go to watch TV - Opening OSS audio device '/dev/dsp' Segmentation fault. 

I tried leaving audio to none in the capture card settings but that didn't
seem to help the situation ?  

Do I absolutely need Alsa or do I have a choice ?

Thanks

Stuart
