Re: [Freevo-users] Buying a TV out card
Hi, I have Radeon7000 and so far I haven't able to make it work with TV except in VESA modes so no HW acceleration. That's why I am swithich to NVidia MX440 card. I have tried to get it work in X and FB without luck. Using radeon drivers TV picture is corrupted but using VESA drivers it is OK.

Hi, Yes I know. But the monitor alone does not work either. Also Freevo 1.3.2 _works_ perfectly so something has been changed in current Freevo, which causes this. I have both Freevo 1.3.2 and 1.3.4 installed at the same time so I can easily confirm that 1.3.2 works and 1.3.4 does not work. -Teemu- > you do know that televisions can not handle resolutions that your > monitorcan... > > I'm betting anything over 800X600 will not work. > > I have had zero luck with ATI cards under linux, I always end up > tradingthem to someone for an nvidia card > > > Hope you have better luck! > > > -----Original Message- > From: Teemu Ahola [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 12:33 PM > To: Freevo Users mailing list > Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Problen with newest Freevo > > > Hi, > > Still no help ;).

Hi, So far I have managed to found out that the screen goes blanc because of the line 340 on file osd.py. There is following line: self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((self.width, self.height), self.hw, self.depth) For some reason this causes the screen go to a mode, which is not supported by my display nor my TV. I printed 'self.width' and 'self.height' and they were 1024 and 768 which are correct value. Does anyone known what goes wrong and is there anything I can do about it. I am not python programmed but I can try to help with debugging.

[Freevo-users] Problen with newest Freevo
Hi, I have a problem with newest Freevo (1.3.4). When I start it from console, my screen goes Power off and TV's picture becomes disordered. I have Radeon 7000 and I am using vesa fbdev. My Freevo.conf looks like this: cdparanoia = /usr/bin/cdparanoia chanlist = us-cable display = fbdev:vidix fbxine = /usr/bin/fbxine geometry = 1024x768 jpegtran = /usr/bin/jpegtran lame = /usr/bin/lame mplayer = /usr/bin/mplayer oggenc = /usr/bin/oggenc tv = pal version = 2.1 xine = /usr/bin/xine I had no problems with Freevo 1.3.2. I have Gentoo system and I downloaded rsync-freevo script file and ran it before 'emerge freevo'. However Freevo works well undex X, but for practical reasons, I don't want to use Freevo with X. -- Teemu Ahola EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: +358 50 5873210 --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

Hi, I recheck my system with Freevo 1.3.2 and it works corretly. It seems that 1.3.4 enabled screen options, which are not supported by my monitor nor my TV. My 'display' parameter in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf file is fbdev:vidix and 'geometry' is the same as current vesa mode, which is 1024x768. -Teemu- On Sat, 2003-08-16 at 09:54, Teemu Ahola wrote: > Hi, > > I have Gentoo system and I updated my Freevo to version 1.3.4.

[Freevo-users] Irman, Lirc and button repeat
Hi, I have running Freevo system :) and I have tried to configure Lirc to handle corretly my TV's remote. Thing is that it (Salora RCS150) has no separate button for mute, instead mute and power button is the same. TV shuts down if I press the button for a long period and a short press mutes and unmutes the TV. I would like to mute freevo too with long press. The problem seems to be that freevo (or lirc) does not understand button repeats. test_name shows something like that: rx `eaaa8000' rx `salora-dvb-ok' rx `salora-dvb-ok' (dup) rx `salora-dvb-ok' rx `salora-dvb-ok' (dup) rx `salora-dvb-ok' rx `salora-dvb-ok' (dup) rx `salora-dvb-ok' rx `eaaa8000' rx `eaaa8000' rx `salora-dvb-ok' rx `eaaa8000' so there definitely are repeats. Code `eaaa8000' seems to be start and end mark. How should I configure lirc so that it would understand repeats? -- Teemu Ahola EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: +358 50 5873210 --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
