[mythtv-users] Re: Can MythTv main menu be displayed on the TV out of Pvr350?

[Don]

jkondis - Thanks, I had already found that site and had it working, but 
the picture quality was really bad (fuzzy and warped).  I'm wondering if 
I did something wrong or it's just my video board.

Nick - I have ivtvdev installed, and, my xorg.conf is very similar to 
Jarods.  However, at your suggestion, I did some more searching.  I 
found a post that suggests that I should be able to have X run on just 
the TV, so I tried setting it up.  Here's the xorg.conf sections, but it 
gives me some errors that I don't understand.  Where does it get device 
(null)?  Thanks again for the help.
Don
