I have a problem similar to yours, although it's not as severe. Quite often when I turn on the TV, if the connected computer is on and the TV is set to that input, it will immediately turn itself off. When that happens I can immediately hit the power button again and it will stay on. I never have to disconnect the VGA cable. My fear is that the voltage levels from the VGA output on the video card aren't exactly right for the TV. If that's the case, we're likely slowly damaging our TVs. This post back in March talked about adding some inline resisters to the breakout cable: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/120314? search_string=DVI%20and%20RGBHV;#120314 ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Problems with VGA/RGBHV and Mitsubishi HDTV
Hello, I've been browsing through the archives and can't seem to find anyone else that has had this problem. Here is my hardware setup related to my problem: P4 1.7GHz 512MB RAM Geforce 2 Video Card using VGA out Mitsubishi WT46809 (connected with breakout cable) Hauppauge PVR 250 I have gotten MythTV set up and running great. Recording works great with the PVR-250, I've got it running 1920x1080i and I'm working on getting Lirc running now. My problem is that my TV doesn't want to wake up after I turn it off for an extended period of time. I leave the Myth frontend running and I turn the TV off when I'm done to prevent burn in. If I leave it off for more than a half hour when I come back to turn it on it comes on for about 5 seconds and shuts itself off. I can get it working again by unplugging the VGA from the back of the computer, turning on the TV, and then rehooking the VGA cable back to the computer. What's odd is that I can turn the TV off and back on, just not for an extended period of time. Here's what I've tried to fix it: Disabled screen blanking in BIOS Set DPMS off in xorg.conf Disabled screensaver settings in xorg.conf (ServerFlags) xset -dpms s off setterm -powersave off setterm -blank 0 (I know, these are for console, but I'm trying everything here) I'm at the end of my rope here, any ideas? I can post my xorg.conf if needed. Thanks in advance! ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Thanks in advance! 2 things i) does your TV have an automatic turn off if the same image is displayed for a period of time? ii) if you connect a regular monitor to the VGA out and leave it, what happens?

Did you turn off xscreensaver (the application, it sounds like you've set BlankTime, StandbyTime, SuspendTime, and OffTime in ServerFlags)?
