Installing version R5A22

Well ive read the install instructions at http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?id=KnoppMythInstall and even attempted to follow some of the links and use the search both here and at the wiki, but cant seem to come up with the right answer.

On install everything APPEARS to be going smooth until i hit this point in the install instructions.



Now during my search for information to the answer to step 6 (the version driver info) i ran across this post.



Which confused me a bit, as Xsecrets' response leads me to beleive that in version R5A22 i can go ahead and skip the portion regarding installing nVidia drivers? Reason i ask is that when i followed the instructions in the How to from the wiki site, i log in as root and i manage to get to the kernel portion of the line.

I either follow above instructions ?(where i lack the version number for the Nvidia drivers on this install version)

Or

I also attempted the instructions from here http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page ... ostinstall
more specifically this portion



following the above instructions lead me to an error (im currently attempting an install from the beginning once again to see if i can figure something out while this is posted.



Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks!

No worries... R5A22 will install the nVidia drivers.

hehe, thanks! i was figuring thats what Xsecrets meant Now to skip that portion and move along to my next fiasco lol.

Ok, ive managed to get most everything appearing to work properly for the moment.

But following the instructions to make sure the TV OUT works, i drop out of mythtv to the desktop and cit CTRL ALT F1, doing so causes a static screen to show up on my LCD and on the TV thats connected.

So i work my way around to root within the desktop and open up the

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file with xedit

i scroll my way down to the "Monitor" Section and nearly half the file seems to be settings for my LCD O.O

Now do i delete these settings and just leave this to get the TV out working?

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"

HorizSync 30 - 50
VertRefresh 60

or if not, where in the all the info thats there about my LCD do i place this? (at the end? append it as its own seperate section and call it Monitor1?

current screen looks something like this



Im not quite sure where i should be placing thhis info, although all install sources ive read advise that i need to place this in this file to get TV out working properly.

well in my impatience i went ahead with trying to figure it out on my own, ive succeeded in gettin it to display on my TV, but in the process i cant view the desktop via my LCD anymore lol.

Also i see two visibel scanlines on my tv when its displaying the Mythtv setup and even while flipping through channels.

Any idea how to get rid of these?

I wanna try and see if i can get rid of that before i step on towards trying to get the screen to stretch all the way to the edges of the screen....

You've gone past the point of installation. If you are trying to run dual head, then search the forum. Installation is for issues related installing.
