I have been having a lot of video driver problems. I am using mythdora for my install. I used the latest nvidia drivers 9xxx on the install and on my VGA monitor all worked fine. When I set tvout using the common tv settings what I was getting looked a lot like very low resolution 8-bit color. (sort of like an Xray)
I read another post that an older version of the driver might work better so I uninstalled the 9XXX driver and then installed an 8XXX driver (8755 I think).
I an fx5200 card. I have used it on a previous mythtv box runing 18.1 and it worked fine.
Now if I use the nvidia setting in the xorg.conf nothing happends and x11 does not load.
If I use nv it will load X11 but TV will lock the machine.
Plesae help. I have spent a long time getting all of the rest of the box working, ir blaster, remote, xmltv with my sat.
and I really do not want to try a fresh install.
btw the nvidia module did appear to load. I used the switch nvidia command at init 3 to make sure it loaded and it did (per howto at Jarods site)
thanks
