871  LinuxMCE / Installation issues / Re: Graphics Driver Problem Abit AN-M2HD / GeForce 7050PV -- driver 100.14.19 on: November 28, 2007, 08:43:36 pm
Just installed this board as Media director last night used envy to install latest nvidia drivers now it seems fine.
Not a whole lot testing yet. Using UI2 on HDMI to Sony Wega 720p rear projection TV.

Testing results:
Connected 17 lcd monitor

1. PXE boot as MD (enable boot rom in bios -set boot order)
Observations: quick detection of dhcp
Ran Diskless Install under 2o mins (went for sandwich not sure exactly how long it took)
Wizard came up, it went crazy when I moved the mouse. (Later found loose connection on kvm switch).
Thought mouse problem might be related to vid driver Huh so installed eny to install latest nvidia drivers again (Later found loose connection on kvm switch). So  I may not have needed to install envy and the latest drivers.

2. Fixed mouse and ran wizard set video to vga 1024 x768 ui3 alpha blending with transparancies

Observations: Notice flashing when using menus and some tearing during video playback.

3. Ran AV wizard set video to vga 1024 x768 ui2 alpha blending with no transparancies.

Observations: No more flashing on menus no tearing during video play back.

Testing results:
Connected Sony Vega 720P 34" TV using HDMI

Identical to VGA test

UI3 flashing,tearing

UI2 Seems fine.

Watched about twenty mins of HD NBC from my HD Home Run - looked great.

Unfortunately cant test 1080P for I missed out on the black friday special on the 1299 cc 46"Sharp aquos

Will do more testing as Core/ Hybrid when I get a chance.

Zarec I have not done a wiki page before would it be too much trouble for you to cut and paste some of this and put it in the proper places, and I will update it as I test further.

If I am beeing to lazy tell me to use the damn hardware wiki and I will get to it when I can.

I assume that your usb-uirt is working for 'normal' IR remote control functions?

Mine is not !
must I have a MCE  remote  I can't get my streamzap or hauppauge to work it.
Zarec said it does not work with lirc. Is there any way I can get above remotes to work. Cry

thanks

Tim

To the best of my recollection, I have said no such thing. Lips sealed  Must have been someone else, as I haven't even gotten around to messing with IR yet myself.  Undecided


Sorry Zarec it was
