[mythtv-users] various issues with setup

[malcolm torrent]

I have an ATI 9600 running via the sVideo out to a TV using the
proprietary drivers on fc5. It doesn't crash when I boot with the
monitor off. It does however mess up the desktop resolution.
So I cant say this issue is completely resolved, but I think its
something to do with xorg.conf setup but i need to look into it
further. You might try posting your xorg.conf here.
The only tips I can give is to make sure you are running with the card
set to run in clone mode and to have the monitor on whilst you login.
Oh yeah and of course ATI cards are not the best graphics card as they
don't support Xvmc. so live encoding/decode may be an issue too. see

I have a Radeon 9600XT connected to a CRT, and a TV via sVideo.  The
Frontend/Backend is running MythTV 0.20 on Xubuntu Edgy.  I installed
the ATI provided drivers, version 8.30.3.  Everything should be up to
date, as I built the box about a week ago and did all the updates.
Every media plays fine on the Xfce interface, so it doesn't seem to be
a codec issue.
