Can anyone answer at all?

Thanks

Hi Bill,

Thanks very much for the info...

Can I just clear something up... even if I can get the display working in the component out.. It wont look like the video because ATI doesn't do composting?


Cheers

Hi, thanks for your reply,

On the basis that this is really the first time I have run Linux, can you please give me an idea as to what I have to do in the command line?

Many Thanks

LinuxMCE Vs Windows MCE - The Video - It was massively Bias towards Linux MCE & The video made everything in Linux look soooo easy!! How wrong I was!!

I have always had the temptation to try Linux & in fact did about 2 years ago, but everything seemed so "over complicated" as it was so much easier to do the things I wanted to do in Windows... After seeing the Video on LinuxMCE I knew I had to have a go as it looks simply amazing! everything that I want in a media center.

I have built a Home Theatre PC specifically for this purpose, All I want is Linux MCE to be running in my box in the TV Cabinet...

I have downloaded Kubuntu 7.04 & Linux MCE 1.1 Beta.  I cannot get as far as to install Linux MCE as I am unable to get my ATI X1650 card to output from the S-Video connector.  I have an S-Video to Composite adapter, which I have been using to display Windows MCE on My HD TV.  But now when I turn my PC on it will display all the lines of text from my Bios & even as far as the Loading GRUB but then blank!  I have had to connect a monitor to my card to see what was going on.  basically as soon as the Kubuntu logo comes up on the screen my card stops/is unable to display out through the S-Video connector, but on the monitor everything seems fine. In Kubuntu I can enter the Monitor Options & Select the 2nd display, but the apply button is greyed out! (yes I have clicked the administrator button)  I have downloaded the latest driver from ATI, but after installation instead of getting what I expected I get a black screen with a flashing curser in the top left... thats it! I then have to re-install EVERYTHING again just to get the same result.

Can anyone PLEASE help me before I regrettably have to go back to Windows....

Many Many Thanks for reading this
