TVout works on my PVR-350 rev 990 It was a lot of hassle, but it eventually worked. Every different kernel I tried and different configuration I used had me on different framebuffer devices. Right now I'm using 2.6.10 with a framebuffer console, and myth is running on /dev/fb/3. No idea what makes it 3, but whenever I reinstall I just try all of them until I find one that works.
You'll be better off with the normal tvout on an nvidia card, though. The mpeg decomp is nice, the TV picture is beautiful, but the rest is crap, it can't display normal X without a hassle and it's slow as heck. - Jeff On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 14:22:57 +0100, Dybdahl, Niels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Kim, > > I do not think so.
