I've posted about this in the past and I thought I'd fixed it, but actually I hadn't fixed it, so here it is again with hopefully more/better detail:
When using HDMI with any distro, the tv screen has a purple haze over it, and all the white areas are fairly green. I first simply adjusted the tv colors...and that kind of worked..until I switch back to cable or the dvd player, and then the colors on THOSE are screwy. So that's not a good solution. I tried composite with ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 but get garbled video that also scrolls constantly along a vertical axis of the tv. TV being used is a three month old Visio HD TV. AppleTV itself is 160gb. I am attempting to install Linux as a single boot system; not as a Myth Front End or anything fancy...just need XBMC functionality (well, and a non-proprietary OS if possible). Next on my list is to try composite with some other distro, although I suspect the results will be the same...but maybe not; maybe ubuntu is attempting to load restricted drivers by default and screwing composite up...i don't know. In the meantime, any ideas? thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
