[mythtv-users] SOLVED? Just a two-lines playback...

[Andrea Giuliano]

Dear Paul,

I think I solved my problem: I borrowed a rather old, but still working 
nVidia GeFroce 4000 MX, and after some work I managed to install the 
right drivers, and now MythTV works fine, and xine too (I didn't try 
ogle, yet). At least, I can watch my recordings and even cut them as 
I've always been doing before this accident. I still have problems with 
live TV, but I seldom watch TV on my PC, I just need to record some 
programs I can't watch at their air time.

Clearly there is something wrong with the integrated graphics card. One 
thing I didn't mention before is that sometimes every player was showing 
some sort of solarization effect, only playing, not when in pause. A 
very strange behaviour, I say. Maybe the integrated card had some 
problem with movies only, because photos, still images and even 3D games 
like neverputt that need acceleration worked perfectly fine. Mah...

So, many thanks for you kind help, and best regards.
