Hi,
I'm trying to install mythbuntu 7.10 on my new HTPC and are having problems with the display.
Chassi: Antec Fusion V2 Black
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2.5GHz
Memory: Kingston ValueR. DDR2 PC6400 2048MB
HD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB SATA2 16MB
DVD: Samsung DVD-burner SH-S203N SATA
TV-Card: Technotrend C-1500
TV: Panasonic Plasma TV TH-42PZ70E
When I tried and used an old VGA monitor the installation stopped (for at least 10 minutes). The last printout was showing that rc.local was executed.
After connecting the HTPC to the TV instead using HDMI the installation started. But know I can't see the lower part of the screen so I have to guess which button is which and use TAB to select the guessed button.
And it don't seem to be possible to change the size of the installation window so I can see the buttons.
But I managed to make a basic installation this way and was able to test a DVD that was shown on the TV. So some things seems to work.
When I should install the TV-Card which entry should I select for the Technotrend card ? I can't find it in the list.
How to get use of the full HDTV resolution (1920x1080) ? First installation I selected vesa driver and got something on the TV but with very low resolution. After a new installation choosing the AMD driver I don't get anything on the TV. The xorg.0.log contains an error about a missing symbol in the fbglx driver (__driCreateNewScreen). Do I need a newer version than the one included in the mythbuntu distribution ?
