Hi all,
My conf:
Geforce4 440MX SE 64mb 8x with ONLY Tvout used.
My old problem:
In X i can do anything but when i tried to watch any videos or dvd, i got blue screen in tv and (i don't know why) fullscreen in vga monitor (i discovered this, but i don't want to use it!!)
After lost my time in order to try to set NVIDIA drivers (i tried nvtv and nvidia-install script, but didn't work), i discovered this trick...
If i force in mythtv mplayer options (DVD and Video have this possibility), the "-vo x11" option, i can see dvd and divx/xvid. All works great in this way.
I am not be able to do the same thing for LiveTV and Recorded programs and for Mame games (everygame goes fullscreen in vga and 1/4 in tv...).
I tried to force mplayer.conf in /etc/mplayer, but i didn't get any solution.
In other words, i don't want to use xv acceleration.
How to enable -vo x11 in livetv mplayer options?
How to force xmame to do the same thing?
Thank u 4 your patience... i lost mine!

This is not an installation issue. A search of the forum or MythTV archive should answer your query on MPlayer. As for XMAME, the X binaries are already installed. You can also compile XMAME from source if you choose.

and what exactly was the problem with just using the install-nvidia.sh script just like everyone else and using the default xv output that works for everyone else?

after i run install-nvidia.sh and set "nvidia" as driver in XF86Config-4, i cannot use X. I tried to use XF86config-4.nvidiatvout but nothing changes...
I don't know why, when i installed install-nvidia.sh, the installation program can't download new kernel... (i don't know if it's normal...)
What else did i forget?

Yes that is normal. Define "cannot use X". If X doesn't start, it should state why. Have you checked the logs?

Alleluya, I resolved!!!
I downloaded last nvidia driver and run/installed it.
After a lot of time i discovered that i had to enable "Enable IRQ for VGA" in my bios settings.
After this, i used this XF86Config-4 setting:

I've got ony one bug:
After i've installed this driver, i've found that when I push CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a console, all characters in console are TOO large (each character is about 1/10 of screen!!).
I cannot use console, in this way... it's impossible to write anything.
although, in X all works right....
Any idea?
