Antw: RE: [mythtv-users] X on tv-out pvr-350 Mandrake9.2

[Rico Kind]

Thanks for your suggestion Brian. But I don't even have X output on my TV when I boot. It is not just mythtv. Somehow the XF86Config-4
srcipt is not running properly. I would expect that there should be
a fbdev module running on my system, but there is none. modprobe fbdev says there is no such module. Do you know how to get this module up?

Thanks,
Rico
