 |
|
I've emerged nvtv successfully, but when I try to run it, I get the message "Compiled without gui." Around a year ago, another poster had this problem and it resolved sorta automagically. I can't seem to figure out what to do. I went to sourceforge and built the latest nvtv source and it pops up a GUI for a moment before segfaulting. The emerge stuff is probably safest, but without a GUI, it's unusable. Am I forgetting a USE flag or something?

UPDATE: After installing gtk and enabling the USE flag, I now longer get the "Compiled without gui" message; now, it just segfaults. <sigh> Still hoping to get some suggestions. |

If you just need nvtv in order to use the TV-Out feature, then you are better off doing it by hands. Simply put this in "Device" Section of /etc/X11/XF86Config
| Code: | Option "TwinView"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "UseEdidFreqs" "True" # For autodetecting tv refresh rate
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768" # TV, Monitor
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M" # US tv standard

Thanks for the suggestion, but TV-Out is working. I do, however, want to tweak some of the settings. The picture is rather washed out and pigmentation seems unnatural. I tried changing this with my TV, but couldn't get the results I wanted. On the MythTV list (I run Myth), people suggesting tweaking with nvtv, but I can't get it to run without crashing immediately. I ran it with strace and looked at the results. I notice that there are a lot of files not found that nvtv tries to load -- mainly relating to fonts and cursors -- but I don't know how to rectify the problem:
| Code: | read(5, "", 4096) = 0
read(5, "", 4096) = 0
read(5, "", 4096) = 0
read(5, "", 4096) = 0 |
The previous line is repeated 576 times before the program crashes. |
