This is a long story, so I'll try to keep short. I
had separate X servers running on my pc monitor and the Pvr350's tvout
port (to connected tv). The GUI image was too large for the TV, so I
tried to correct it. Most attempts didn't work, but they didn't hurt
anything. After trying this suggestion: ..... Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and in the [server-Standard] section, change: command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 to command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 -audit 0 ...... From: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/109220?search_string=gdm.conf;#109220 , the pc locked up and had to be hard reset. After rebooting, xorg.conf and gdm.conf were both trashed (garbage throughout). I got xorg.conf restored from a backup, and got a clean (??) copy of gdm.conf from another pc. Now, I can run either server, but not both at the same time. Here are some symptoms: - Run X on pc monitor only, works and mythtv plays on pvr350 tvout port - Run X on pvr350 tvout, works and mythtv plays on tvout port - Run both from a clean boot, computer freezes (needs hard reset) But, if I do this, both work once. - Run X on pc monitor only - Play live tv on mythtv on on pvr350 tvout - Logout of X, turn both servers back on, startx again - X runs on both, but: - at startup the tv speaker buzzes - Tv shows the X session for a couple of seconds, goes blank - Move mouse over to Tv display, and X session is repainted wherever the mouse is moved. - Play live tv on pvr350 tvout, it works - Logout of X - Run X again, computer freezes Any suggestions on what to try? Thanks, Don PS - Here's part of the xorg.conf file. I turn the monitor and pvr350 on / off by commenting out the appropriate line(s) in the server layout section.
