Hi There,
I am currently running:
MythTV v0.16
Hauppage PVR-250
Matrox G600 (dual head) -> TVOut
Using the "Matrox Power Desk" software (as well as the MGA and HAL drivers
from the Matrox site), I am able to get the the monitor to be "cloned" onto
the TV. Everything seems to work fine, except when I try to watch TV or
watch a recording from the TV: all I get is a blue screen on the TV, but the
picture shows up perfectly on the monitor, and sound is okay as well.
I guess I have two questions:
1. Is anyone successfully running a G400 outputting to the TV, and if so,
would it be possible to post your XF86Config-4 file?
2. My real preference would be to run in the framebuffer. I can get the
frambuffer initially setup, but after that, I get stuck. I have seen
references to the G200 HOWTO which has helped some people get the G400
working with TV output. Would it be possible to post a link to the HOWTO?
I could not find it on the MythTV site.
TIA,
Alan Murrell
