Re: [mythtv-users] HELP about TV output
I have followed Jarod's guide as best i could. In his guide he says to setup the XORG.CONF file to have the monitor (TV in my case) use DPMS. Then use the xset command to turn off DPMS for your monitor. I was having the same issue, and I went into the XORG.CONF file and commented out (#) the line for DPMS in the MONITOR settings. It doesn't go to a blank screen anymore.

Re: [mythtv-users] HELP about TV output
I have tried using the xvidtuner but it doesn't seem to be permanent. It kinds of resets itself after a few hours and also when I reboot. Anyway to solve this?? Also, how in the world do I remove the screen from going blank when there's no activity? I want the screen to remain as it is... Thanks Ash.

Re: [mythtv-users] HELP about TV output
If the blue line is just when watching recorded programs/live TV, you may find the best adjustment is the MythTV overscan (Setup > TV Settings > Playback). I have mine overscanning by 2 in both directions and offset by -1 in both directions. I also tweaked my MythTV GUI with a custom GUI size/position in Setup > Appearance and have Use GUI Size for TV playback set to On. It took some trial and error, but things are sweet now.

Re: [mythtv-users] HELP about TV output
Hi, I tried what you said, it didn't work. So I thought I should try with the highest number "1" and then go down as needed. That didn't work either. The blue line remains there. I even tried to reboot after the changes, thinking that maybe that's where the problem is. It's like nothing works!!! Also, this is only when watching TV or recordings. If I go to weather or system info or the main menu, the blue line isn't there...(if this helps anyone) Thanks, --a-- On Sat, 05 Mar 2005 16:10:56 -0500, Calvin Harrigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ashu Desai wrote: > > >Hi, > >I did the overscan option.

I use the command: xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0 in my ~/.kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh file. If you did not use Jarod's guide, you might not have this file and may need to put the command somewhere else to have it run at startup. If you are running from the command line, the "&" at the end just tells the process to run in the background. Not sure if this is necessary, as it seems to be a command that does it's job and then exits, returning you to your shell, but I might be wrong about this.

Re: [mythtv-users] HELP about TV output
Is the line all the way across the side, or just for part of it? Does it obscure part of the screen, or is it off in the "black bar" kind of region where you're not watching anyway?

[mythtv-users] HELP about TV output
Hello guys, A newbie here. I wrote a couple of weeks back, and although a few guys tried to help me, it didnt work. My appeal again: I am running pvr-250 (980) on a P3-650 Mhz-640 Mb RAM computer. When I watch TV or the recording (since it's going to record the way it comes on TV), I get a blue line on the left side the the upper side. Someone suggested xattr thing with an "&" at the end; but that didn't work. Someone also suggested modifying the /usr/bin/nVidia-Settings-1.0-6629 file but that didn't work either. I am at at brickwall now. Nothing works and I hate watching my myth tv now with that bar SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! Any help is appreciated as always...
