| Post subject: | Cheap GeForce FX 5200 or Free MX400 |
I installed myth for the first time last week and reported my machine as a Tier1 install. I will now have to modify that post or modify my hardware. I currently have a MSI GeForce MX400, I think. Everything works great untill I try to use S-Video out. Using the sample nvidia tv XF86Config-4 file, I get a very narrow picture. From what I understand I should be able to correct this with nvtv but I have not had luck. To resize the screen to something other than 800x600 or 600x40 I will have to recompile nvtv, I think. My preference is to have widely supported, tier 1 install hardware, so that in the future, updates to software will be simple. My question is, would buying a $30 cheapo GeForce FX5200 from Frys, be more supportable than my existing card? i.e. can I plug in this card, do a re-install, copy the sample XF86Config-4 into place and be watching live tv on the s-video out without having do anything else outside of the UI? Thanks in advance for your input. |
