Cause I have been told so before... Doesn't make it correct, that is why I said think. Wine can be very hungry... seems like a terrible idea... but I am not the arbiter of what is and isn't acceptable  lol.

Do not believe we will be implementing any kind of wine solutions.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying.


If you have two outputs on your GPU, and you are wanting one to be for one room and one to be for the other... that is not currently possible, and while it was my intent to eventually do this... the next step would be figuring out how to detect and differentiate between outputs, drop that indent info into the database, build a new X window, lock down its state, designate a separate entertainment area for those idents which do not exist... and figure out what to do about avwizard.

It is a lot of work I discovered for a feature almost nobody would take advantage of and is handled more efficiently with separate MDs.

In order for an MD to be able to run two orbiters at once, it is going to need more hw/electricity than two ion nettops imo.

I could split a single output to multiple rooms. Running a separate orbiter would be a trick. Entertainment areas would need some serious thinking/coding to be able to run double duty from a single machine with multiple outputs. What you want could be done, but I reject on premise that it would be more cost effective.

Ok... well... finished adding support just recently, and expect that upgrading isn't getting it done.

First of all... do yourself a favor and ssh into this thing on the internal network. Then you don't have to squint through lines like you are trying to see boobs on scrambled cable. You can also copy and paste all this stuff.

Code:

apt-cache policy fglrx | grep stall
uname -r

If fglrx installed version does not read 2:9.002-0ubuntu1 OR if uname -r does not read 2.6.38-16-generic (or -generic-pae)
You are going to want to do the following...

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get -y remove --purge fglrx* --force-yes
apt-get -y install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri --force-yes
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
apt-get -y install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core --force-yes
rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*
reboot

It will then upgrade your kernel (could take a while... you can press esc at the penguin load screen to see what it is doing), reboot, put you on the ati driver we like, reboot, and drop you at avwizard.

ggmce... Can you please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA

I wrote logic to figure all this out... it is simply untested in its current state.

What happens when detecting graphics, is that if more than one card exists, it breaks them down, figures out what they are, and rank them based on my arbitrary scale of which is "better". It calls this Best_Video_Card. When avwiz hits, it takes this ranked card and converts its busID to a base 10 address and writes it to the temporary xorg.conf as the thing to use.

I would really need your help to figure out why it isn't working as I expect. Any chance you can drop into IRC and ping L3xxx in there?

If not in a VM, it would be ctrl + alt + f2

Again... if there is an existing (probably broken) /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will not be able to setup how you wish... everything will be blown. rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*

This will start you fresh, reboot and you will be at AVWizard, and you can test the resolutions properly, with no odd sizing. It simply will not display a resolution it cannot display. If your TV cannot do 1080p then it wont... you will simply fall back to the native resolution after 15 seconds of trying.


If your TV is 1080p capable, chances are your GPU is too at this point.

There is a test button in AVWizard at UI selection... Use it.

If you changed monitors, LMCE held the old monitor values when it created the first xorg.conf.


If you remove /etc/X11/xorg.con* and reboot, avwizard will not be inappropriately sized.

It does work... it appears not to work when AVWiz crashes.

This problem is likely due to the problem I created with conflicting nvidia install info.

I did not read his statement properly. I thought he tried to manually run /usr/pluto/bin/AVWizard_Run.sh
That was what I was referring to "not expecting to work" running on its own.

So... What I would advise is... become root and:

apt-get remove --purge *nvidia*
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*
reboot


This assumes you are on an nvidia chipset.
On update, it did all of this automagically on its own... but I did not have 2 versions of the driver installed. This is best to start over.

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*
reboot

Make sure TV is the only thing plugged in. Will pop up at avwiz. You cannot just run that script and expect it to work.

You will probably want to use the dvd installer. I just found a bunch of jumbled nvidia install stuff and fixed it. That is probably at fault here. Please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA

I would, as root:
apt-get update
apt-get -yf upgrade
apt-get remove --purge *nvidia*
rm /etc/X11/xorg.con*
reboot

You should end up at AVWizard. Sorry if this was my doing.

This is gonna sound nuts... but... in mythtv... somebody hit the "=" key. Please tell me if you experience a change in surround.

I need to see

Code:

tail -9 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; cat /etc/udev/rules.d/85-linuxmce-audio.rules

I will have a new file tonight or tomorrow.
