[mythtv-users] X over pvr-350 post examples
I'm running FC3 and have myth working and recording. I have not been able to get x to work on the pvr-350 tvout. Will someone please post working example of of Fc3 modprobe.conf and xorg.conf for displaying x on the tvout? -- Regards Dave Ashmore ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

It might be worth looking over that and seeing if there is something that you have missed or follow that guide and see where you get to. If it really says that it cant open /dev/fb0 then it sounds like you don't have ivtv-fb module loaded. You can check this with lsmod. Also try running ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -prepframe and see if you get a constantly changing pattern on the tv out. At least this will prove the driver etc. are loaded and working.

Getting an xbox and try to use it as a frontend. Continue to try to get X desktop to display on the pvr-350 tvout.

[mythtv-users] Backend 100% cpu load
Well I think I have this problem troubleshooted enough but not sure how to correct it. I think while trying to delete a recorded program through mythweb the backend crashed one day. Days later after my first reboot since the myweb browser crash I noticed upon rebooting that the cpu load and disk writing/reading going wild. I narrowed the problem down to mythbacked and when I started mythbackend from command line I got what I'll paste below. Looks like its trying to apply commercial skip to a video file (.nuv)that no longer exists. Below is the output but how can I correct this?
