Yes, it was a user on the forum that made me decide to create the X11 option, since he had some trouble getting a nice picture on his HDTV. Now it's there, I can't even remember why I had so much trouble with configuring Freevo to use the detected X11 resolution in the first place :-P I use this line to find out the detected resolution in a rc.firstboot script: RES=$(cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Modes | uniq | tr -s \ \ | cut -f 3 -d ' ' | tr -d "\""); and then just replace 800x600 with $RES using sed...

Re: [Freevo-users] FreevoLive!
Yesterday, I've uploaded FreevoLive 0.11! Whats new? - Uninstalled Freevo 1.6.3 and python-mm - Installed Freevo 1.7.0 and the kaa-packages (thanks to Korrel from MandrivaClub.NL for the rpms!) - Kernel 2.6.17.11mdv - Added appletrailers plugin New problems? Yep, though not very big ones. Somehow, audio album covers aren't shown. That's all? Yeah, I tried to do some more, but ran into some issues, so I didn't have enough time to fix anything. I wanted to have a version with Freevo 1.7.0 though, so in the next version I'll try to fix (some of the) known issues. I did remove the 'exit' at the end of .bash_profile though, to be able to do some more debugging without having to start a new session. Michel - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freevo-users] FreevoLive!
FreevoLive 0.10 is here! - Freevo 1.6.3 is now installed, which as you know is the latest stable release of Freevo. - Display is switched to SDL in order to keep full screen video on the framebuffer - Some setterm commands were added, to stop the screen from blanking, and remove the flickering cursor after having played a video. - A script was added (which actually was introduced in .09) to enable the saa713x TV cards. Besides that, FreevoLive has been moved to a very nice family: TuxFamily! See it on http://freevolive.tuxfamily.org Please feel free to try it, and tell me what works, and what doesn't :-D BTW: I installed Freevo 1.6.3 with an test-rpm made by a member of the Dutch MandrivaClub, so there should be an official mcnl-rpm in a very short time ;-) Michel 2007/1/7, Michel Hoogervorst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I just uploaded a new and improved version (yeah, it's getting newer and more improved day by day :P) This version has xawtv installed, because harddrake seems to need it to be able to configure most TV-cards during boot-time. (My bttv card already worked without it, but it _could_ solve to problem with the cx8800 driver). Also I enabled a few TV channels (22, 55 and 66) so one can check if the TV card works without having to leave Freevo (and we don't wanna leave Freevo don't we? ;)).

Re: [Freevo-users] FreevoLive!
You must be able to install it simply by typing "urpmi xawtv", but I will make sure to have it preinstalled by the next version :-) I don't know about the cx-8800 card, do you know if there is a Mandriva rpm package for this driver? This Live CD is a simple remaster of MCNLive Cherbourg (see www.mcnlive.org), so the hardware compatibility is exaclty like that. I will ask the maker of MCNLive if she know's something about the cx-8800 driver.
