[mythtv-users] Radeon 9550 and PAL TV

Fri Apr 27 08:02:45 UTC 2007

I got OpenGL working using the guide at 
http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/ati-yum-livna/
YAY!!! Thanks for pointing me to the original Radeon drivers.
I am using an Intel motherboard and that caused part of the problem.
I'll move on to tuning the video output for the TV and get the channel 
listing working.

I have one more question for you. Did you use coaxial cable for your 
VGA-SCART cable?
I have found people using regular wire and others using coaxial cables 
for the RGB channels.
