[mythtv-users] NVidia FX5500 and ubuntu breezy driver

[alain.maisonneuve_lists at swiftpenguin.com]

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the advise, i have already tried that particular setup.

What is strange is that i get black and white from the moment the video 
card is
enabled, it does the memtest/bios in black and white.

I have also tried changing the SVideo cable.

I am at a total loss..
