I am running Knoppmyth R4V5 upgraded to the 2.6 kernel with a DVB card. My video card is a Geforce2MX400, so I use nvtv to enable the TV out in PAL mode and set the overscan and position adjustments. I have not run the install-nvidia.sh script, so I assume I am using the standard driver (nv?).
My problem is that occasionally the display on the TV goes whacko as if the display settings have changed to a setting outside the normal range. This usually happens when pausing a show or when switching back to the menus after watching a recording or a video (mythvideo) but it is not easy to reproduce (usually only happens when my wife is watching
). A similar thing happens when switching to a console (ctrl-alt-f1) and then back to X (alt-f7) but I can understand this.
I can get the display working on the tv again by typing the following command at the console and switching back to X before the sleep completes.
Code:
sleep 3 ; nvtv -S PAL -r 800,600 -s Normal -t --set TVhoffset:7
Does anyone know what might be causing my display to go whacko, and if not, is there a way to get the nvtv command to run by pressing a button on my remote?
PS: I currently use the irxevents method with my remote.
