[mythtv-users] RE: OpenGLVideoSync: Bad Context for Vsync

[Joe Votour]

I'm not running the new 0.18.1 RPMs, but I'm running
my hacked up MythTV 0.18.1, which contains the
additions to allow OpenGL VSync to work as a run-time
option (I haven't tested the RPMs).  I can indeed
verify that the idea is sound and does work.  (Really,
all I did was add in a checkbox to mythfrontend to act
as a flag for whether or not to add OpenGL to the list
of timing methods checked for.  Previously, it was
just based on an #ifdef.)

This is what I see in my mythfrontend log:
2005-06-03 19:20:18.041 Using protocol version 15
2005-06-03 19:20:20.438 Opening audio device
'/dev/dsp'.
2005-06-03 19:20:20.438 Opening OSS audio device
'/dev/dsp'.
2005-06-03 19:20:20.479 Using XV port 177
2005-06-03 19:20:20.898 Realtime priority would
require SUID as root.
2005-06-03 19:20:20.919 Changing from None to
WatchingLiveTV
2005-06-03 19:20:21.058 Video timing method: SGI
OpenGL

I just looked at the MythTV source code that is
bundled in with the RPM, and it is possible that the
VERBOSE macro is being called, which would show some
extra logging information.

I'm attaching my .nvidia-settings-rc file, which I use
 with the OpenGL VSync (I'm running the 7174 driver). 
I hope that this helps, but if not, I'm afraid that I
can't really offer any more suggestions, since the
functionality was already in MythTV, nothing was
really added.
