[mythtv-users] please help - only seeing a blue screen in mythtv and grabdisplay

[Joseph A. Caputo]

Hi,

I have a similar setup working flawlessly.  My setup:

Leadtek GeForce4 MX 420
Hercules Fortissimo III
Hauppauge WinTV-radio

Suggestion: make sure you are using the latest NVidia binary drivers for
your video card.  I don't think my setup worked with the open source
XFree86 drivers.

Also, what is you TV card?
