Hello,
I recently installed KnoppMyth on my PIII computer with a Hauppauge PVR 350.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the TV out to work.
When KnoppMyth is booting, you can see the TV screen flicker and display something, but it is not the GUI. I do not know where it takes the settings for the TV out from, but in /etc/X11 there is a sample configuration for the PVR 350 (for NTSC, but I have PAL here). Is this the one that gets used for TV out?
cat /proc/fb returns nothing. Could this be the problem?

Thanks for any help

There are several threads that talk about how to setup the TV out on the 350. There is even a script. Have you followed any of those threads? Did the script not work? How about posting some details and where along the path things are failing?

The Wiki has an article too. I got mine going from that.

I also recently installed the newest KnoppMyth R5A30.1 with a PVR 350. I have a visual at my tv but the screen resolution does not fit my requirements. I also need PAL. I used the R5Alpha16-pvr350.pl script. After that you need to reconfigure the resulting XFConfig-4 file yourself. I did not succeed the reconfigure for PAL because any change can make a visual on tv fail. I will give it another try...

Can you tell us what you did? I'm having the same problem. I can't seem to find the fb# even when I look through the logs.
