Hi Folks!




Bought a new (well, refurbished) Lenovo M58 for use as an additional Frontend. Problem #1: At 1920x1080x60 Hz will randomly blink (black screen for about a second). Both at the Desktop and any Myth screen. At any lower resolution is fine (no blink/stays on). [Currently the Frontend computer is connected up here to my monitor for testing – the monitor has no problem with this resolution.] I can live with the slightly lower Desktop resolution; only reason listed is may have some bearing on my real problem, #2.




Problem #2: In Myth playback no on-screen display (of 'pause', 'bookmark saved', forwarding speed, etc.) when the TV show is 1080; at 720 and below the on-screen overlay appears, Size of the picture appears normal, so isn't a problem with overscanning.




Trying to find information on the driver (because it seems logical!) -- cookbooking as I am a newbie:

.        lsmod | grep -i video yields:

.                video 18712 1 i915

.                output 1883 1 video




No idea what that means! So if you want me to look for something please give the command I'm to type in.







Frontend:

.        Lenovo M58, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz


.        Video:

.        Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset

Monitor (Haven't tried on a TV yet)

.        Acer H242H

.        Per Speccy in Windows 7:

.        Current resolution: 1920x1080

.        Work resolution: 1920x1040

Displayport to HDMI adapter







Mythbuntu 10.10 32-bit (I knowww!) (That's what the Backend is running; installing the current version [14.04.1] on the Frontend complained the Backend was 63 versions old.]




TIA!
