I need some help resolving X windows issues. I'm running up against a wall with this one and could really use some pointers.

EPIA MII with WinTV PVR 250, and thats about it, pretty basic. I just installed the latest 5R12 and it mostly went without a hitch... except for the TV out on my EPIA MII.

1) At first I couldn't get anything on the TV screen, until I discovered a BIOS option to output to the Screen... You might want to add that to a FAQ for EPIA boards.

2) Now that I have TV Out from th EPIA MII, xwindows seems to be inverting the colours (they are certainly messed up). I can see when X starts up that it is correct, but it immediatly switches to another graphics mode where everything is inverted. At first I thought it was just the MythTV app, but I noticed that when I exit MythTV, x itself is inverted.

Some points that might shed some light:
- During install I selected the XvMC option, I couldn't find anything explicit about EPIA boards and XvMC, but from what I read, it looked like I could use it.

- When I first set the box up, all I got was static on LiveTV but x was displaying properly, I then I tried the Caveats note and executed dpkg -i /usr/srcv/mythtv/epia/*.deb. which gave me a picture, but inverted.

- I check the /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv and the type was set to 2 which I changed to 39 following the points that another thread mentioned with no luck.

What I've noticed that may also be clues:
- /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv sets the type to 39 (originally 2) but the tveeprom line in dmesg lists the type as 50?

KnoppMyth -> Installation is for issues related to installing KnoppMyth. Comment DPMS (dpms) from XF86Config-4 and restart GDM.

That worked first time, thanks.

You're welcome.
