Re: [mythtv-users] ATI Mobility Radeon 7500

You might try Knoppmyth I have it running as a front end on an IBM T40
that has an ATI mobility 7500 chipset. Course I can't seem to get the
DVD player to work but video is fine after some HD resolution issues
where sorted out.

[mythtv-users] ATI Mobility Radeon 7500

2005-03-29 Thread Matt Lutz
Hey all,
 
I've been lurking here for a while, and just set up myth for the first time this weekend.  I ran into a few problems that I was able to overcome, but I'm stuck now with this one thing.  I have a laptop (P4 2Ghz) that I wanted to use as a frontend.  The problem is that I can't seem to get it to play any video, I just get a blue screen.  When I ran myth and set the environment variable to disable xv, it "worked" but the picture was real sloppy.  Is there a possibility that my ATI Mobility graphics card simply doesn't support it, or have I installed it wrong?  I'm running Fedora 3.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
oh - I tried installing the gatos drivers, but now X won't come up at all.  I'm going to try and re-install X later today.  I'm not sure if that means the drivers simply aren't compatible, or if I just did it wrong.
 
thanks a lot.
Matt
