First of all I want to say that I really appreciate the yelp and support you are giving here !

I hope one day I will be able to give something back to the community here !

I'm not really keen on a reinstall - but for a linux newbe like me that seems the (only) solution for so many problems ... it took me 13 installs to finally get my SUSE on my home PC to run ... now int runs fine (I still don't know exactly why - but it works ...)

I'm kind of proud that i found the file ... but how do I replace on with the other  (Sorry if this is a really stupid question ...  )

O.k. ...

I guess I f@#$% up the xorg.conf ...

I did NOT say NO when the installer wanted to auto configure X ... I guess a classical case of RTFM ...

When I now hold the shift key during the startup the AVWizard comes up but tells me "Failed to setup X" (with a red "ok") ...

Is there any way to manually fix the configuration or should I just get ready to do a new install ?

Hello Colinjones,


I changed the device from "nv" to "nvidia" ... sorry that I forgot that ...

at the end of the logfile it says:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) UnloadModule: "wfb"
(II) UnloadModule: "fb"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found



... hopefully you can decipher that  ....


THANKS !!!

Hello Colinjones,

Thanks for the fast reply.


I changed the xorg.cnf setting ... now MCE des not start up at all anymore ... it stops at

"dcerouter login:"

and (strangely) the screen flashes to just a cursor in the top left corner ...

Is there any way to fix that besides a new install ?

Installation issues / Choppy Video on 9400GT

« on: April 14, 2009, 07:32:10 am »

All,

after my old 8200 (256 MB) which without issues died the death of heat (bad housing fan) I upgraded to a 9400GT with 1 GB.

After the install the screensaver images move and fade really choppy (looks like a streaming over a very low bandwidth).

I reinstalled the system and updated the driver ... no change ... 

I'm quite new to linux ... so please bare with me if this is a simple thing and i just didn't get it or I missed crucial information.

THANKS !

Feature requests & roadmap / Re: LinuxMCE and Dreambox

All,

please excuse if this is a duplicate question:

Is there a way to use and/or distribute the stream coming out of a DB7020 ?

I managed to control the db with MCE but the quality I get when I take the signal back in with a video in card is quite poor (especially when upscaled to 1080p) du to the double conversion of the signal.

Thanks
