[mythtv-users] mythtv, hd, nvidia, oh my!

[Michael Wisniewski]

Hi!

   Alright, I'm about hitting my head against the wall now!  I just plugged
in my GeForce 7300 card to do HD video.  The machine is a beefy box (amd64,
dual core) so I thought it could handle it.  I'm struggling trying to get
the hd part to work.

    My first problem is hd1080i.  Whenever I set that in xorg, the menus
blur when I flip around and everything is blurry/flickering/jittery.  BTW,
I'm connecting it to the tv via component cables and i'm not setting the
refresh rates or anything like that in my xorg.conf file.

    Now my second delimma.  Jittery/flickering menus aside, if I try to
watch live tv or play a video, I hear about a half a second of sound and
then that's it.  Looking through the mythfrontend log file, I get this error
message.  I haven't dug really deep in google yet for it, but just
frustrated and would like something to work!


Thanks for any help,
Mike
