I'm running ubuntu 8.10 but have always rolled my own kernel from clean kernel.org sources. I haven't seen anyone else report this, so I wonder there might be some new setting in kernel 2.6.28 that I'm missing somewhere. Any help appreciated. This has been driving me crazy for days.
My current working kernel is 2.6.26.1 and ivtvfb works great. I downloaded 2.6.28 sources from kernel.org, make oldconfig (answer all defaults), make, make install. The machine boots fine with the new 2.6.28 kernel. However, when I start X on the /dev/fb0 framebuffer (pvr350) the colors are all washed out and the resolution looks very low ... like maybe it's running 640x400 with just 256 colors or something. Under myth some previously recorded videos come up very low res and the colors all washed-out. Other videos only show a blue screen, though audio continues to work fine. I normally run myth with no window manager, but xfce alone (no myth) also looks very low resolution. For kicks I did the same steps with 2.6.27.6 sources from kernel.org (make oldconfig, make, make install) and everything worked great: myth came up with full colors and full resolution under the 2.6.27.6 kernel. xfce also looked fine. I've experimented with the module parameters (osd_depth, osd_xres, osd_yres) but the output always looks the same under 2.6.28 with or without parameters. I don't see any errors when enabling debug. I can post the debug output or the kernel .config if would help. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
