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.

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.

[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.

[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.
