now, on boot, mythtv starts, and i get the "pre-scaling images" progress bars, and then just the background. no menu or anything.

FYI my TV is the only monitor connected. i did the setup with a regular monitor, then switched over to TV

i can ssh into the box to edit config files. what do i need to edit to fix this?

thanks

matt

looks like you have edited out all of your metamodes, so you probably need to change this line too.
Code:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "dfp,tv"


change "dfp,tv" to "tv"

done. however, i get the same result.

when i was running freevo on this box, the above settings worked fine. freevo has a conf file that specifies the display resolution. if the resolution in freevo was set higher than the X resolution, i would only see part of the freevo screen. could this be what's happening?

same place you find XF86Config-4

/etc/X11

there are several example XF86Config-4.some.kind.of.sample files in there.

If you can do it from the command line, have a look at the nvtv related changes that the script in this post makes: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6645

If you cant do it from the command line, you need to patch the nvtv source so that you can. There is some info on the wiki about doing this including an example patch. http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=TVOverScanHowto
