[mythtv-users] More info: Problems With RGBHV input on Mits. HDTV
Here's where things get interesting I tried setting up a monitor to the MythTV box and everything appeard normal. Powered the monitor off for an hour, powered it back on, and it came up just fine. Went back to the TV setup and it did the same thing as before. Tried jiggling the mouse and jusing the keyboard and nothing happened. This time, I hit "Esc" "Down Arrow" "Enter" to exit Myth manually. When I turned the TV on it took a second, but the X desktop came up with console. Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is that X is blanking the screen somehow and Myth isn't responding to the wakeup. Could X be sending a signal to powersave monitors that my TV won't respond to? Which log woulld I look in to find this info?

That's my goal for this evening. I have to change the resolutions and xorg.conf file to get that done. Once I got my original config working I've backed it up in three different places to make sure I don't lose it. It took me three days to learn how to calculate everything the first time. :) Josh === > Does it come on if you press a key on the keyboard (not a key on the > remote--one on the keyboard) or wiggle the mouse?

I tried kicking off the screensaver both ways, just in case. Yes, I turned off xscreensaver as well. I'm starting to think that the power management settings may have something to do with it. Still trying! Josh ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Problems with VGA/RGBHV and Mitsubishi HDTV
Hello, I've been browsing through the archives and can't seem to find anyone else that has had this problem. Here is my hardware setup related to my problem: P4 1.7GHz 512MB RAM Geforce 2 Video Card using VGA out Mitsubishi WT46809 (connected with breakout cable) Hauppauge PVR 250 I have gotten MythTV set up and running great. Recording works great with the PVR-250, I've got it running 1920x1080i and I'm working on getting Lirc running now. My problem is that my TV doesn't want to wake up after I turn it off for an extended period of time. I leave the Myth frontend running and I turn the TV off when I'm done to prevent burn in. If I leave it off for more than a half hour when I come back to turn it on it comes on for about 5 seconds and shuts itself off. I can get it working again by unplugging the VGA from the back of the computer, turning on the TV, and then rehooking the VGA cable back to the computer. What's odd is that I can turn the TV off and back on, just not for an extended period of time. Here's what I've tried to fix it: Disabled screen blanking in BIOS Set DPMS off in xorg.conf Disabled screensaver settings in xorg.conf (ServerFlags) "xset -dpms s off" "setterm -powersave off" "setterm -blank 0" (I know, these are for console, but I'm trying everything here) I'm at the end of my rope here, any ideas? I can post my xorg.conf if needed. Thanks in advance! ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
