Users / Re: Problems connecting a CRT TV

« on: May 20, 2009, 10:29:05 pm »

Hello,

I just have completed re installation of the linuxmce PC, but I have now also problem with the PC monitor. The image on the screen is flickering... So i want to try updating the ATI videocard driver. But because I have always used Mr Bil's his software (Windows) I have no idea how. I have readed some methods of installing software from the commandline, with the shell konsole. But now my problem when I have downloaded the driver and what to begin installation, i do not know how to call the downloaded file.

I did also reeded that there is software for linuxmce that will help users with a graphical repressentation of the installation. But again I have no clue how to install that software 

So can someone help to start learning the installation process on a linuxmce system.

Thanks in advance

E

hello,

Thanks for your reply.

The old PC has got a ATI  video card installed. I have readed some post that people are complaining about ATI cards so maybe this is also my problem.

I will look in to it and will report my findings or problems here.

Hello,

I'm currently re-installing my PC to find out how the AV wizard works and that I have the default settings again. I did not tell the PC to run the AV wizard. But on Wiki I have readed something about pressing the 1 to 5 keys and the 6 to 0 keys to change the screen settings if no image is showns.

The default schreen resolution of LinuxMCE is 640 x 480 but maybe this is to much for the TV I'm using.

Hello,

I have tried but de AV wizard seems to be on the wrong resolution...
When I instal linuxMCE i have a TFT (15inch) connected because i know that that is working, but when i reboot and connect a TV i only see the bios and after that a black screen. Also hitting the numbers to change the output channel and resolution does not work. Kan someone tell me what de schreen resolution is from a bios start screen? And how much Hz that is... Because I can see that on my TV.

Hello,

I have installed linuxmce 7.10 on a old desktop pc. When i have a PC monitor connected every thing I currents want to do with linux works fine. But when I want to connect our CRT TV I only get a image on screen while starting up the pc.

I think there is something wrong with my settings... Currently I am using S-video connection between the PC video card en the TV.

Can some body help me with my problem?
Is there a tool to get this working?

Greetings E

Hello,

Linux and LinuxMCE are new for me but i have managed to instal it to a old pc. After installation the orbiter screen was displayed on the core's screen.

Could some one tell me why I do not see the full screen media, with the cool command bars? (like seen in the video of the linux mce 7.04 on youtube)

My hardware setup is extremly simple... it's just a pc with a VGA contected 19inch screen. Before I want to spend money I what to know more about linuxMCE.

Greetings,

E
