| Post subject: | All Installed, but no TV Output |
Hello all, I am sorta new to linux, so bare with me. I just installed Knoppmyth R5.5 on an old P3 1GHz, 460MB of Ram, 100GB HDD, Nvidia Geforce 5600FX, Onboard Sound. Now, when I installed I was getting that "INIT: ID "c7" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min" error, but I went through the steps in the hints, and I installed the drivers and everything seemed to be working. However, when I rebooted, after it had finished checking nvidia driver installation the Nvidia driver splash screen popped up (I think x was starting up), and my TV Output turned off. So the main problem is this, I can see everything on the monitor I have connected to the VGA port, but nothing from the composite video out when I am in x-windows. If I do a ctrl+alt+1,2,3,4,5,6 to get to the console, the TV output turns back on and I can see the console, but when I do ctrl+alt+7, it turns back off. I have no idea what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. If I need to post any log files, let me know which ones. Thank you in advanced! |

Which driver did you install? Have you tried the alternative ones suggested in the hints/tips post? |

Hey all, after much more reading, and googling, I found teh solution on the KnoppMyth Wiki. My xorg.conf file didn't have any information in it about my tv, so with a little editing, I got it all working. Here is the link for any others if they need the help http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MonitorToTVTransition |

Glad you got it fixed! Did you install with the "tv" option? Also, is it an HD or SD set? |

When I installed, I do not remember seeing any tv option, although my tv was getting a signal so I could watch the install on it. Also, it is an old SD set, just wanted to try out Knoppmyth and see how it compared to xbmc, and I have to say it works pretty well, albeit the specs are pretty much the same. I eventually intend on buying a new computer with a hauppauge card and an hd tv and running knoppmyth on it. |

The "tv" option isn't something you select. When the install starts, there's a prompt at the very very start, and you can just hit enter or you can type "tv" and hit enter and it will do the installation with tv out settings. |

This is covered in the R5.5. Hints under Phase 1, #1.2 When you boot from the CD it brings up a boot screen which allows you to enter boot options, aka "cheat codes", You'll see a BIOS message that says something like "Boot from CD:" then a KnoppMyth splash screen with a "boot:" prompt at the bottom. You type the boot options there and hit [Enter]. You can also hit the [F2] or [F3] keys to see more option information. |
