[mythtv-users] EPG on Video Output of PVR-350
Howdy: I have my setup *mostly* working, my video output is going to my PVR-350 card and looks OK. Most onscreen graphics (like the menu from pressing M, the channel and program info) shows up fine on-screen. Problem is that when I select the Program Guide The main video output dims, and the EPG appears on my regular LCD computer monitor. Is it possible to get the EPG to appear on-screen with the program video? It would seem so since the other graphics display just fine in this mode.. If it matters, system is a Gentoo amd64 running MythTV 0.18.1. Any ideas appreciated Brian Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Where are you're menus etc. For the 350 the OSD information is drawn directly onto the framebuffer. The EPG however uses the Xserver to display but plays around with the framebuffer alpha values so that you can see the X display and the video. If your menus are appearing on your LCD monitor that would explain why this is happening. The way to run this is to get X running on the 350 and then run Myth so that all the menus appear on the TV then the EPG will appear there as well.

Well that's what I was hoping to avoid as it means I can't use the machine for something else at the same time (at least in X, without setting up two servers, which I guess *could* be done). Thanks.

I run 2 servers that way I can log in and out of the main one regardless. Assuming that you are leaving the main x server logged in though why can't you just add a second screen to the xserver configuration and run myth to use the display :0.1?

I guess I can actually, or even run VNC and display on another machine. Right now I'm trying to use the fbdev driver and I get: FBDEV ioctl FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO invalid argument I'm assuming that I should be using the fbdev driver, my 350 output is /dev/video17, I'll poke around the net some more and see how to get this running on X.

I would avoid fbdev. There is very limited FB support in the 350 driver at the moment. Just enough to get X running really.
