Dell Dimension 4600
P4 2.8GHz
1Gb ram
GeForce FX5200 (256Mb)
Soundblaster Audigy 4
2x Hauppauge DVB Nova-T (using silver remote)
Seagate barracuda 80Gb hdd (currently will replace with larger one later)
Installed and ran fine. Tuning the cards is a bit hit and miss here, but that's not Myth's fault!
Only fiddly bit for me was the remote (or I think more accurately the remote combined with the Nova-T DVB card), which was fixed in my case by:
- 1) untar lirc
2) run ./setup.sh
In the setup program select option 1-'Driver config', then option 0-'Other', then option 6-'/dev/input/eventX', followed by option 3-'save and configure'
type 'make' then 'make install'
3) Edit hardware.conf to look like this:
Code:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
START_LIRCMD=false
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true
# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="dev/input"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/input/event2"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
START_LIRCMD=false
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true
# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="dev/input"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/input/event2"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
4) Reboot.
5) Use lircd.conf and lircrc files from mad_paddler's post at the end of pg3 here: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6232&start=30
All in all a clean install, and way simpler/easier than trying to install MythTV in a normal linux installation.
