[Freevo-users] tuning a freevo-box | x11 vs. fb
Hello, I run freevo since 2 years on a P3 450 with 256MB RAM and a gf2mx400. The box is connected via composite to my TV and runs debian sid. Recording TV and watching DVDs works fine, but sometimes the machine slows down because it swaps around. A memory upgrade is not possible because the mobo does not support more than 256MB. Perhaps I should use a framebuffer device instead of x11 because x11 needs a lot of memory? I searched in the mailinglist-archive and found some mails about using a framebuffer-device on a gf2. I tried to activate it (vga=0x735 video=rivafb:ywrap) but only got a blue screen. It remained black after starting freevo. Has anyone success running freevo with framebuffer on a gf2mx?

Hi. I am using both the usb plugin and a normal directory. The second option works fine and I could use it as my only option, but like this, the usb device doesn't automagically appear when it is plugged in. You have to exit a menu and enter again if you want to update it. The usb plugin works fine in this, so I'd like the best of both ways. Alberto --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: ivtv not working
This is a simple metoo reply.
None of the patches John described worked for me.
Have the impression this is specific on python 2.4 acting different then
python 2.3
I have a hauppage MCE 500 working under linux on a epia motherboard.

Re: [Freevo-users] usb storage
The description of the problem does look familiar to me.
I have a FC4 with HAL enabled. Working under Gnome Deskop everything
worked out fine, but changing to another windowsmanager it didn't work
anymore and reacted as you described.
I needed to start up gnome-volume-manager before the windowsmanager to
interact with HAL.
BTW I don't use the USB pluging, I did something with a link AFAIR.
Believe a linux version with HAL installed could be causing this.

Re: [Freevo-users] lcd displays
Hi, unfortunately I do not have the answer. I am not running a lcd display but I think this is a neat idea. I think there are display to connect to the parallel port supported by lcdproc? Do you, if freevo only displays information on the lcd (as in the "layouts" in lcd.py) or will for example the menu be displayed, so that I can navigate through freevo using the lcd instead of the TV?
