No Nvidia-TV Out No PVR-250 What's a new user supposed to do
« on: October 14, 2005, 07:15:45 am »
Just got a new powersupply in to bring my fully functioning MythTV box up and try out this PXE boot.
Install process was fine. However, I quickly discovered, that without NVIDIA driver support or an install script, I was forced to plug up my computer monitor just to see anything. The NV driver doesn't support TV-Out so I went about trying to install NVIDIA's. I had the best luck with debian's
nvidia-glx because it actually installed. Nevertheless when I
#modprobe nvidia
it says
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.

Hmmm. I've seen this before, when I tried to figure out why my PVR-250 wasn't working. (It still isn't even with the drivers that were posted)

So, I guess I'm kind of confused since the whole idea of pluto is for everything to be plug-in-play. Automatically detected, and installed. How are other users getting TV out to work with their cards?
VGA -> composite external adapters....surely not.

TV out never worked, but I got word that I'll get something that does that to look into. PVR drivers were broken unintentionally in the .30 release. Sorry for that.

but in the flash animation its nothing but huge HDTV plasmas hooked up to Media Directors!! :)

Anyway, knoppmyth handles it in a nice way by running a simple install-nvidia.sh script. Maybe that would help.

Gotta get that TV-out working

I have a feeling that the HDTV uses something else, because I got word that it worked after some minor tweaking. No idea though. The HDTV Plasma is at another location.
