I'm not sure what step of the howto you followed upto. It
seems to me you probably finished the whole thing....
Their are some different configurations I need to add to the
howto.
You can have your TV as the whole mythbox:
You can have myth on a monitor and playback on TV.
If you want to use mythtv to output to the tv and you want
myth to be on your screen, you do not need to make any
changes to xorg.conf. Infact you should undo any changes
and I believe that will remove the black box from your screen.
If You dowant to get mythtv on the TV but right now I'm not
sure if that's what you want.
You say "(that would require a driver that I did not
install). " but I'm not sure what driver that is are you
talking about "ivtv-fb"?

No, I am not running X on the TV (that would require a
driver that I did not install). X is displayed on my
monitor, but a terminal, I think it is tty1, is
displayed on my tv. The terminal stays there when I put
MythTV's output on the TV. So I can see the TV-images
around the edges, but most of the screen's surface is
being blocked by the black square (=the terminal).
Incidentally, when I try to follow the steps to actually
display X on my TV (in Matt's link below), I get stuck
in the first step. modprobe ivtv-fb does NOT results in
the suggested entries in /var/log/syslog... it does not
result in any entry.
Any ideas?

I have been struggling to get my TV-out working on
ivtv (installed on Ubuntu Feisty). Mythtv works
fine, so ivtv is installed correctly. (I can use my
'other' TV-output which converts VGA to Composite.
The quality of this picture is acceptable, but not
great; I know the 350's TV-out is much better).
I can give the following information:
1) As soon as I connected the TV-out cable to the
350 and the TV, I got a black screen on the TV.
This means it is sending a signal, because the
screen is blue when the TV is not getting any
signal at all.
2) I live in Europe, and need a PAL(-B/G) signal.
3) I played around with some old (!) information from
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutPal
and
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto
<http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto>
which instructs what lines to add to
/etc/modprobe.d/aliases (I think thats the Ubuntu
equivalent of /etc/modules.conf). Long story short,
some combination of lines (which I cannot remember
and have not been able to reproduce) gave a crystal
clear TV-output with MythTV (which I set up to use
/dev/video16). However: no sound and no overlay
(for example, when I activated the program guide,
it would not appear on the screen).
I remember examining the output of dmesg and it
seemed the lines I was adding to aliases contained
syntaxes that were not (or no longer) recognized.
Which line/command was the magic one to enable the
TV-out, I cannot tell.
4) I restored my original aliases file, but added
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv;
/sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
as suggested in
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/IVTV_Install
and updated the modules and rebooted. By chance I
noticed some text flashing on the TV while
rebooting! Now, If I press cntrl-alt-f1 my monitor
goes blank and I see the terminal on the TV. Also
when booting into recovery mode, I see the messages
floating by on my monitor until it hits ivtv0-fb,
after which the output switches to the TV.
/In this situation, when I watch TV on MythTV, I
get a black screen with the terminal covering
almost all of the screen. Only at the edges I see a
TV-picture. Also, still no sound. /
5) When I do: sudo rmmod saa7127, the tv-screen
goes blue, as expected.
6) Current output of dmesg:

I am getting very close to a solution, but after
many hours of googling and reading I am kind of
stuck here. The documentation on this is mostly
outdated, I feel. Any help would be greatly
appreciated (as in... I'll do your chemistry
homework ;) )
Regards,
Crakie
