[mythtv-users] Please help me get X running again on PVR350 tvout

[Andrew Plumb]

Just as a point of reference, in case it was my posts regarding myth
ui outputs that led you astray, I'm using Jarod's version of xorg.conf
verbatem.

Since I'm using my PVR-350 in an Epia M10K I didn't have to change a
thing, but if you have to change anything it'll be the PCI BusID per
your system.

Andrew.
