Hello Currently I have two dedicated FE's FE #1 Linhes 8.1 Asus ASUS AT3N7A-I 2GB DDR2 Memory 60GB SSD Coolermaster Elite Mini ITX Case Connects to LED TV via HDMI Logitech USB Speakers sound way bettter than LED TV Speakers Snapstream Firefly RF Remote #1 FE #2 Linhes 8.1 (my old backend) Abit AN-78GS Onboard HDMI Connection 2GB DDR2 Memory 60GB SSD Connects with a DVI/HDMI Adapter on the back of the Mitsubishi TV Snapstream Firefly RF Remote #1 Logitech k400 Keyboard FE #1 mainly used to watch my shows via XBMC the LED TV is a lot smaller and so it the PC. Since I'm closer to the screen the amount of noise is important. FE #2 mainly watch sports and movies in the Living Room. Normally via Myth Recordings after editing them (NCAA Tournament). This works great for me using analog sound via the tv speakers. |

Hi, I give you a update for my installation I buy the following new hardware for test installation of LinHES 8.1 Code: ASUS F2A85-M PRO - Motherboard - Mikro-ATX -Socket FM2 - AMD A85X - USB 3.0 - Gigabit LAN AMD A-Serie A8-6500 Black Edition - Raden HD8570D G.Skill SNIPER Series - Memory - 8 GB : 2 x 4 GB -DIMM 240-PIN DDR3 - 1866 MHz / PC3-14900 -CL9 ZOTAC GeForce GT 630 ZONE Edition 1024MB DDR3 64bit ZT-60415-20L Interface:PCI Express 2.0 x16 GPU:GeForce GT 630 Memory Size:1GB Memory Interface:64-bit Core clock:902 MHz Cores:384 Ports:DVI HDMI VGA Passive , Low profile The problem is, what I can only use the DVI-Port, the HDMI-Port do not work with my desktop pc monitor -LG Electronics IPS235- and not work with the Samsung -TV UE40C7700- TV: Samsung UE40C7700 HDMI1(DVI) (works video AND digial audio over DVI-HDMI adapter) HDMI2 With driver from LinHES 8.1 with version 310.19, the GPU is “NVIDIA GPU Unknown (Unknown) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)” but works over DVI. With a newer nvidia driver 337.12-1 the GPU is “NVIDIA GPU GeForce GT 630 (GK208) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)” I change the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with 10-monitor.conf, but no screen over HDMI Code: Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "Unknown" # Option "Monitor-DFP-1" "Monitor0" # Schema "Monitor-Portname" # Option "Monitor-HDMI-0" "Monitor0" # Schema "Monitor-Portname" Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-1" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-1" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "Stereo" "0" Option "ModeValidation" "DFP-1: AllowNonEdidModes" Option "metamodes" "DFP1: 1920x1080 +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log show Code: Port DVI: SAMSUNG (DFP-0) (connected) CRT-0: 400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock SAMSUNG (DFP-0): 330.0 MHz maximum pixel clock SAMSUNG (DFP-0): Internal Dual Link TMDS SAMSUNG (DFP-0): Native FlatPanel Scaling is supported SAMSUNG (DFP-0): DFP modes are not limited to 60 Hz refresh rate SAMSUNG (DFP-0): DFP is not internal to notebook Name Aliases for SAMSUNG (DFP-0): DFP,DFP-0,DPY-1, DVI-D-0 Port HDMI: DFP-1: 165.0 MHz maximum pixel clock DFP-1: Internal Single Link TMDS DFP-1: DFP modes are not limited to 60 Hz refresh rate DFP-1: DFP is not internal to notebook Name Aliases for DFP-1: DFP, DFP-1, DPY-2, HDMI-0 My old desktop pc with Windows 7 prof. 64-bit have the following hardware Code: ASUS M2NPV-VM AM2 AMD Athlon II X2 255 Processor 4 GB DDR2 Memory So I build up a new Windows desktop pc with the new hardware and build the „new“ mythfrontend with the "old" desktop pc hardware and the GT630. I hope, that next version of LinHES can use the Raden HD8570D as video card. Regards Lutz |
