| Post subject: | installation problems for linux newbie |
just want to say i am fairly new to linux so please try to explain things as clearly as you can - thank you in advance system specs: Dell Poweredge 400sc 2.8ghz P4-C (800mhz) 250W PS PNY Geforce 3 Ti200 with svideo out 512 kingston ddr400 1xWD 40gb 1xMaxtor 160gb with 8mb cache intel 875p chipset standard cdrom onboard gigabit nic onboard sound Hauppauge PVR250 ATI TV Wonder (BT878) Can I use both cards to capture/watch tv? If so, how should i wire the cable to these cards? Booting from the cd(R4V4) worked perfectly. I used the manual installation to partition the disk, wrote the table, and installed successfully. After the computer rebooted, i selected that i had a remote (with pvr250) and i686 modules. I continued on to the backend configuration which went through fine. Afterwards, I used ctrl-alt-f1 to get to the console. I typed install-nvidia.sh and installation began. After I agreed to the license and the driver installed, the screen turns blank. WHAT NEXT?!?!? Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

Are you hooked up to a TV? If so, try the sample tv out XF86Config-4(remember it is just a sample and 'may not work for you. Code: cd /etc/X11 mv XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.mysystem cp XF86Config-4.nvidia-tvout.sample XF86Config-4 Still the sample was done on a Geforce 4, Overscan will not for you... You may need to comment those out. Finally... Code: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
Use a splitter on your cable, one to each tuner on the two cards... |
