[mythtv-users] NVidia 6200, 6600 and XVideo
Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has the whole story on the Xvideo issue with NVidia's 6200 or 6600[GT] cards? I've been getting mixed messages, some say it simply will not work: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/08/msg00205.html while others say Xv works fine for them. Can someone give a more confident answer on this? -Peter. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Just no hardware overlay (which myth doesn't use). The email you link to is wrong - really, the only things that don't work are xawtv in overlay mode and adjusting the picture controls.

Isaac Thanks for the info, that really helps. The missing overlay, does that mean you can only use fullscreen Xv and not in a small window in the corner? I guess I don't understand what exactly the overlay is for. Peter. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
