Thanks a bunch, I hadn't seen that page before. I was looking at the FAQ. I forgot to redo the forum searches with new keywords. Finally I have the first config that makes the M6000 work. Now I can work on moving the tree to a NFS root based setup and get rid of the disk (mini-myth never worked for me). Then the remote with a Packard Bell serial IR receiver and I can call the thing sucess. Thanks again, Alberto ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The solution for the colour problem is to edit the XF6Config-4 file and to select DPMS to false under the Monitor section. I have posted this on the Knoppmyth forum and also on the Wiki - epia motherboards. http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=EpiaMotherboards Another thing, do not enable Xv Picture controls as this will mess up colour for Video's. ___ Yahoo!

Correction, the color map issue is still happening, however it only happens as X starts up. After that I can start and stop viewing things and I don't have to switch to a console any more.

What is amazing is that when running from the HD the colormap issue goes away, so it seems that it may have to do with the slowness of dealing with the cdrom.

Basically I get a greenish look every time a viewing is started (either a previous recording or live TV) I can fix it by doing Ctrl+Alt+F2 and then Alt+F5, but I have to do that every time I start viewing something.

Re: [mythtv-users] KnoppMyth and cle266
I do have the Samuel 2 (is a C3). The ldd libs do show: libXv libXvMCW libXvMC So I guess this is the right binary. Any other ideas?

You might be able to check which libraries the mythfrontend binary is linked against with 'ldd `which mythfrontend`'.

I believe Knoppmyth uses i586 mythtv binaries by default, and presumably when run from CD. I've noticed this makes all the difference in sub-1GHz Duron and Celeron systems. Not sure how you could persuade it to switch to i686 when running a live CD frontend, but "dpkg -i filename" on the files in /usr/src/mythtv/i686/ works on an installed system.

I seem to be using it wrong then (R5A16). When I boot from the cd and select watch TV the video plays and pauses continually. I thought that it didn't have hardware acceleration. I assume that the cle266 detection is automatic and I don't have to use a particular switch, right? I was trying to get the ssh going so that I could troubleshoot from a different box. The ssh host keys don't get created automatically, should I just go ahead and create the host keys manually?. This brings me to the question, which parts of the file system will be writable?
