| rickchristie1 | hi i need some advice on channel scanning kaffiene gets great reception but myth is crap | 07:38 |
|---|---|---|
| qwebirc68520 | I am still using a CRT as my wife has little time for TV | 12:17 |
| qwebirc68520 | The problem I have is overscan. I have tried the setup in myth frontend and it | 12:18 |
| qwebirc68520 | does not seem to work as expected, is there a zoom feature on video card driver for nvidia | 12:19 |
| qwebirc68520 | does anyone know how to fix overscan issues. I have been trawling forums for ages trying different things wih no luck | 13:29 |
| qwebirc68520 | I tried usig the mythtv gui but although it does scale the image it does not offset the left corner | 13:30 |
| mycosys | nvidia? | 13:30 |
| qwebirc68520 | yes nvidia proprietry | 13:30 |
| mycosys | what output? | 13:30 |
| qwebirc68520 | tried nvidia-settings but no slider and tried the attributes but I get an error when I list then | 13:31 |
| qwebirc68520 | them | 13:31 |
| mycosys | what output | 13:31 |
| qwebirc68520 | PALB TVOUT | 13:31 |
| qwebirc68520 | or TV-0 | 13:31 |
| qwebirc68520 | with an CRT. My wife does not believe we need a widescreen yet | 13:32 |
| mycosys | yeah | 13:32 |
| mycosys | run nvidia-settings | 13:32 |
| qwebirc68520 | she thinks it may cause the kids to watch more tv | 13:32 |
| mycosys | Nvifia linux Chapter 16. Configuring TV-Out | 13:33 |
| mycosys | grrr | 13:33 |
| qwebirc68520 | nvidia-settings gui does not have the slider in the gui at lease that I can can see | 13:33 |
| mycosys | http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.09/README/chapter-16.html | 13:33 |
| Zinn | [us.download.nvidia.com] Chapter 16. Configuring TV-Out | 13:33 |
| mycosys | should be under tv-0 | 13:33 |
| qwebirc68520 | looking at it now | 13:33 |
| mycosys | the slider | 13:33 |
| mycosys | but you only use that for figuring out which setting you need | 13:34 |
| mycosys | you need to set tv standard in xorg.conf | 13:34 |
| qwebirc68520 | any idea why a get this error when running nvidia-settings -q all | 13:35 |
| qwebirc68520 | he program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 420 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 4) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; | 13:35 |
| mycosys | you also need to add nividia settings to your .xsessionrc to set overscan and turn off powermiser and turn on flicker filter | 13:35 |
| mycosys | no idea | 13:35 |
| mycosys | i have 'nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1 -a [gpu:0]/GPU2DClockFreqs=300,450 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=300,450 -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1 -a [gpu:0]/TVFlickerFilter=1 -a [gpu:0]/TVOverScan=66' in my xsessionrc but the first three are for underclocking it | 13:38 |
| qwebirc68520 | how do I turn off powermiser and what is it | 13:39 |
| qwebirc68520 | ignore that last question, I get it | 13:39 |
| mycosys | yo9u will probably need to create ~/.xsessionrc | 13:40 |
| qwebirc68520 | does it need elevated priveledges | 13:41 |
| mycosys | no | 13:41 |
| qwebirc68520 | I guess not, silly question its only a config file and not private key | 13:41 |
| mycosys | is a user config, not a machine config is more the isuue lol | 13:42 |
| mycosys | *issue | 13:42 |
| qwebirc68520 | just my luck cant paste to vnc session. some other bug | 13:45 |
| mycosys | ew @ vnc | 13:47 |
| mycosys | try winswitch / xpra | 13:48 |
| mycosys | or plain ol x forwarding if thats ur preference | 13:49 |
| qwebirc68520 | no luck with scaling although the flicker filter works well | 14:03 |
| qwebirc68520 | text is silky smooth | 14:03 |
