 Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:54 am Post subject: Help with TV Out on S3 Inc. ViRGE/GX2 |
 |
|
Hi there,
I am trying to setup a media centre box using mythtv. I am not intertested in have a PVR (at this point) and would just like a nice frontend for playing divx movies on my TV.
I have emerged mythtv successfully and can use it through a normal crt monitor. This showed that xorg was working well at this point.
I have a Compaq Deskpro (old small form) with a built in ATI video card (ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X) which I used for testing. As the MB didn't come with S-video out I have purchased a second card - S3 Inc. ViRGE/GX2.
The problem came when I tried to hook it up to a (PAL) TV. I got nothing. I played around with the xorg.conf, added the second video card and second monitor/TV but couldn't get anything.
Here's the output from cat /proc/pci:

mythuser@mythtv mythuser $ cat /proc/pci
