Hi all, My conf: Geforce4 440MX SE 64mb 8x with ONLY Tvout used. My old problem: In X i can do anything but when i tried to watch any videos or dvd, i got blue screen in tv and (i don't know why) fullscreen in vga monitor (i discovered this, but i don't want to use it!!) After lost my time in order to try to set NVIDIA drivers (i tried nvtv and nvidia-install script, but didn't work), i discovered this trick... If i force in mythtv mplayer options (DVD and Video have this possibility), the "-vo x11" option, i can see dvd and divx/xvid. All works great in this way. I am not be able to do the same thing for LiveTV and Recorded programs and for Mame games (everygame goes fullscreen in vga and 1/4 in tv...). I tried to force mplayer.conf in /etc/mplayer, but i didn't get any solution. In other words, i don't want to use xv acceleration. How to enable -vo x11 in livetv mplayer options? How to force xmame to do the same thing? Thank u 4 your patience... i lost mine! |

This is not an installation issue. A search of the forum or MythTV archive should answer your query on MPlayer. As for XMAME, the X binaries are already installed. You can also compile XMAME from source if you choose. |

and what exactly was the problem with just using the install-nvidia.sh script just like everyone else and using the default xv output that works for everyone else? |

after i run install-nvidia.sh and set "nvidia" as driver in XF86Config-4, i cannot use X. I tried to use XF86config-4.nvidiatvout but nothing changes... I don't know why, when i installed install-nvidia.sh, the installation program can't download new kernel... (i don't know if it's normal...) What else did i forget? |

Yes that is normal. Define "cannot use X". If X doesn't start, it should state why. Have you checked the logs? |

Alleluya, I resolved!!! I downloaded last nvidia driver and run/installed it. After a lot of time i discovered that i had to enable "Enable IRQ for VGA" in my bios settings. After this, i used this XF86Config-4 setting: Quote: Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "speedo" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" Option "DPMS" "true" HorizSync 30-50 VertRefresh 60 Modeline "800x600" 40.12 800 848 968 1056 600 601 605 628 #60Hz EndSection Section "Device" Option "NoLogo" "1" # [<bool>] Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" # <str> Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" # <str> Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" # <str> Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultColorDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection All works now!!! And i re-enabled all "-vo xv" settings. Hardware acceleration now works right! (i watch tv, recorded programs and mame!!, directly on TV-OUT) Here are my logs. Are they all right or not?

I've got ony one bug: After i've installed this driver, i've found that when I push CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a console, all characters in console are TOO large (each character is about 1/10 of screen!!). I cannot use console, in this way... it's impossible to write anything. 
although, in X all works right.... 
Any idea? |
