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:

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.
