[mythtv-users] TV-out problems

Hi all,

I'm just starting to investigate MythTV, and am trying to get my WinTV
Primio FM card working nicely under Linux (I'm running RedHat 8.0 with
the latest nVidia drivers).

So far, so good (ish); I can plug the TV-out cable into my TV (Sony 32"
100Hz PAL), and I can see the computer output on the TV. I've edited my
XF86Config file as per the nVidia readme file, and I can start X and see
the output on my TV too. I've even managed to get xawtv showing me a
picture. Fabulous!

However this is all somewhat spoiled by a horizontal sweeping flicker -
about 3 'sweeps' per second. It's a bit like what you see when you see
computer monitors on TV, except it's a vertical lines moving in a
horizontal sweeping motion.

Anyone got any idea what's going on and how to fix it? Or how I can go
about 
finding out?

Any help gratefully received!

Cheers,
Dave.
