Re: [mythtv-users] Can not get SVIDEO to work with GF4MX 440
Try turning off GLX. Comment out the "Load GLX" line in the modules section. It worked for me on my debian system. I never figured out why, but its worth a shot. I don't have a composite out on my card, so I don't know if your problem is the same. I was finding that whenever I tried to use the SVideo out, X would crash with a signal 11 until I disabled the GLX module. Let me know if it works. It would be nice to know that somebody else on earth was having the same problem as me. Mark ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users For the record, you are not the only one having this problem. I am having the same issue right now. To get X to work I commented out the "Load glx" line, but now znes doesn't work. It all happened after a glibc update. I'm running gentoo. PITA but... ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

That is just to show, how it works with composite, but not with Svideo. So sorry, no trick question. Sorry for the confusion. I wouldnt waste your time, guys. Was just a little bit too late here ;-) Ok, here are the modules I am loading: Section "Module" Load"bitmap" Load"dbe" Load"ddc" Load"extmod" Load"freetype" Load"glx" Load"int10" Load"record" Load"type1" Load"vbe" Load"v4l" EndSection Also tried the idea with removing the "glx" module, but it didn't help. Thanks for any replies so far! Every other input is welcome! Cheers, Tom ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I never figured out why, but its worth a shot. it used to be that the nvidia instructions dictated to comment out GLX. I assume that is still the case. GLX != GLCore Disabling GLX breaks the NVIDIA driver (you won't get the performance you should). ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7676/README.txt - If you have a working X config file for a different driver (such as the "nv" or "vesa" driver), then simply edit the file as follows. Remove the line: Driver "nv" (or Driver "vesa") (or Driver "fbdev") and replace it with the line: Driver "nvidia" Remove the following lines: Load "dri" Load "GLCore" In the "Module" section of the file, add the line (if it does not already exist): Load "glx" - If you have to disable GLX, you've probably got an X Windows library configuration problem. See "X starts for me, but OpenGL applications terminate immediately" in the README linked above. If that's not the problem, make sure you don't have the Composite extension enabled.

To (properly) adjust text size, tell X how big your screen is...but that is a trick question. You are usually tell X how big the screen is when you are 1 foot away...you are 20 feet away! Anyway, I didn't do the calculations, I just hacked. Here are a bunch of screen sizes for 4:3, pick on that looks good to you: ~~ Section "Monitor" Identifier "TVOut" HorizSync 30-50 # HorizSync 31.5 VertRefresh 60 Option "DPMS" "0" # Little Text # DisplaySize 400 300 # DisplaySize 360 270 # DisplaySize 320 240 # DisplaySize 280 210 # DisplaySize 240 180 DisplaySize 200 150 # DisplaySize 160 120 # DisplaySize 120 90 # DisplaySize 80 60 # DisplaySize 40 30 # Big Text EndSection ~~ You are telling X the dimensions in mm of your screen. I guess my Screen "looks" 200mm by 150mm from my couch. I guess you could hold a ruler about a foot from your face and measure the TV from your chair and get something similar.
