[mythtv-users] X server on pvr-350 tv-out

[David Margrave]

Hi,

I've got things working great with the X server and the myth TV UI on a
monitor, and with tv set to /dev/video16.

When I set the X server to run on the tv-out, I get the following
behavior:

- without the 'use pvr-350' in playback settings, I get slow video and no
sound on the tv, the X server takes nearly 100% of the CPU on my athlon
1.8
- with the 'use pvr-350' setting, I get just a black screen.

Basically everything works fine, until I try to get X and the tv-out to
play together.

I started out with knoppmyth R4, and have upgraded to mythtv-0.13, and
have upgraded to the latest ivtv modules.  Here is the applicable section
of my XF86Config-4.

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier  "NTSC Monitor"
        HorizSync  30-68
        VertRefresh 50-120

          VTimings 480 484 488 504
          Flags    "-HSync" "-VSync"
        EndMode
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
        Driver      "fbdev"
        Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
        ### change fb1 to whatever number you got in the previous section
        BusID "0:10:0"
        ### change the busid to whatever is reported by lspci -v
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier  "TV Screen"
        Device      "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
        Monitor     "NTSC Monitor"
        DefaultDepth 24
        DefaultFbbpp 32
        Subsection "Display"
          Depth 24
          FbBpp 32
          Modes "720x480"
        EndSubsection
EndSection
