Installation issues / Re: HVR 1600 in Beta2

« on: July 05, 2010, 10:02:42 pm »

I'm still trying to get the HVR 1600 card to work.   Can you give me a link directly into the mythtv.org wiki that I could follow to get it to work?
Thank you.

I'm working to get the HVR-1600 working, but found out that my card was bad.  I just mailed it back to Hauppauge and should get it back early next week.  I'll let you know if it works.   To determine that the hardware was bad, I installed it using Windowx XP SP3 with the WinTV V7 application from Hauppauge.

I was able to resolve my issue with by updating the /boot/grub/menu.lst  file.   I found the first statement that started with "KERNEL" and appended the following:

" vmalloc=256M" 

at the end of the line.   You can see the error in the "syslog" file.

The motherboard does NOT have any video board functions....only the Geforce 9500gt in a PCIV2 slot.

Installation issues / Installation problem with Geforce 9500gt Video Card

« on: February 22, 2010, 09:09:01 pm »

I'm starting with a new installation of LMCE 8.10b2 and I'm also having problem installing and getting LMCE to come up. 

Hardware:
Pentium Dual Core - 4GB Memory
GeForce 9500 GT Video Card
Hauppauge 1600 Tuner
2 - Ethernet ports - one on Gigabyte board, 1 in PCI slot

I have installed the LMCE DVD Beta2, apt-get update, dist-upgrade and network LMCE install.   This all goes well.  The reboot happens and then I get a "Avwizard" popup with "Failed to Setup x".   I have done the following:

I have a problem with the eth0 device driver, but that's been resolved by going from the r8169 -> r8168 ethernet device driver.

I go to the alt terminal (Alt-Ctrl F3) and do a "startx", and I get the following:

NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia() (Input/output error).
(EE) ...NVIDIA(0):  Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0
(EE) ...NVIDIA(0):  Please check your system's kernel log for additinoal error....etc...etc.

xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

I have also done the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-195

Any ideas would be more appreciated...  Thanks in advance...Don

Fatal server error:

Any ideas?   Thank you in advance....
