Hey all,
I have an nVidia TI 4200,
I have just downloaded the 4363 driver from nVidias web site .
I get the same thing happening as when I use Jarods tutorial for the
apt-get nVidia drivers ....
When X restarts It says no screens found , Then the systems goes into a
trouble shoot program that asks if i would
like to view the XF86 output, but before I can say yes the system locks up.
If I change the driver in XF86config back to "nv" it works fine except
for TV OUT which never worked..
TV out Is what I am really shooting for.
What I am really asking is , has anybody had any luck with this card ?
Should I switch to a GEforce4 440 MX card?? This seems to be a very
popular card for the myth project.
I am running a shuttle motherboard and it has the via chip set on it, I
remember reading about people having troubles
with that particular chip set would be better off finding anew
motherboard with a different chip set??
What are peoples opinion between Knoppmyth and RH9
I have now installed both (several times )
I seem to see RH as slightly more stable
But Knoppmyth seems to work a little easier out of the box
With either system I still cannot record live TV, that is I get a
recording but it is 1/2 hour of black screen
My system is both the frontend and the backend. It is just an extra
computer I keep in my office to try to record my
favorite shows while I am working.
I will appreciate anybody's input for anything
Thanks
Tim
