RE: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.
I tried a more expensive NVIDIA card (FX5600) and I still get the problem, I'd love to move away from NVIDIA but my ATI (9800XT) does the exact same thing, I could move to Matrox but as I understand it Matrox cards don't have good X support. So the question becomes what video card works best?

Re: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.
For Freevo, Matrox have the all the support it needs. In my experince the Matrox have the best video quality of any card. They do lack some of 3d accel stuff, though.

RE: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.
I thought maybe I should mention my hardware config :) Currently using an Nvidia Geforce 4 MX440, Intel 2.4 Hyper Threading 800 Bus, running on 865 Intel chipset. I have a Wintv PVR-250, 2 Sata 80 gig Seagate drives and 512megs of ram. I'm using the nvidia binary driver, 4363 but I've tried a bunch of versions and the open source driver but none of that makes any difference. The Kernel is 2.6.3 but I had the same problem with 2.4.25 so I don't think that's the problem. The distribution is Gentoo and I'm using the current CVS version of Freevo. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Dumaresq Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 8:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.

RE: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.
I can make the black bars go away... but the screen is still not straight and nvtv doesn't work with Geforce4s with the nvidia tvout chip, only the older cards. (Segfaults). I did try nvtv with my Geforce3 and that didn't help me any. The screen was still not straight even when I used nvtv to cause it to fill the whole screen. Also it happens before I do any media playback (one example of where it's very noticeable is in the tv-guide part of freevo). Here are some screen shots of what I'm talking about: Overscan on: http://www.dumaresq.ca/tv.jpg -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Reynolds Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 9:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.
