[mythtv-users] No Picture

[Peter Hutnick]

When I run mythfrontend and choose TV->Watch TV my screen goes blank (but
I get TV sound).

I can toggle to a console and kill mythfrontend and get X back, but the TV
sound continues.

Mythfrontend says:

It is pretty clear to me that this is a config issue, but I have no idea
what it is.  For reference motv (and xawtv) works fine, both in a window
and full-screen.  Actually, the only way I have found to stop the sound is
to fire up motv.

Anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?


Thanks,

Peter
