[mythtv-users] Almost there

Hmmm...

Just checked that link to my test.mpg, and it actaully displayed a picture!
When I launch it locally, it shows just a green background.
No sound in either, but that is secondary at this point.

Here is my well abused xorg.conf.
================================================================
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

EndSection

Section "Files"

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name 
of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
    RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
    ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia"

Section "InputDevice"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
#    Option    "Xleds"        "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
#    Option    "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#    Option    "XkbModel"    "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#    Option    "XkbModel"    "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de"
# or:
#    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de"
#    Option    "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#    Option    "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#    Option    "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"

===============================================
TV is currently not connected in anyway to the PC.

Also, when I clicked the link, xine fired up, not mplayer.

Another thing I wish is that I could reply directly on gossmer-threads. 
I have an aversion to 150 emails a day, but enjoy online postings.
Another day, another battle.

Anyway, I know that this xorg.conf is screwy, but it has been thru a 
battle or two. Is there a doctor in the house?
