Hi folks,
due to stability issues discussed elsewhereš, I've decided to give the 10.04 lucid LTS kernel a try on my freezing / crashing mint10 system (based on Maverick). I downloaded the kernel-image-generic deb file from the lucid update repos and it installs and boots just fine.
However, when I try to start tvtime (my favourite tv program), I get the following error message:
** tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card
*** driver. If you are using an older NVIDIA card (TNT2), then
*** this capability is only available with their binary drivers.
*** For some ATI cards, this feature may be found in the experimental
*** GATOS drivers: http://gatos.souceforge.net/
*** If unsure, please check with your distribution to see if your
*** X driver supports hardware overlay surfaces.
I've tried googling, but most stuff seems related to ati cards (I have an nvidia 6200 which works just fine with tvtime on the stock mint 10 / maverick kernel, 2.6.35.xxx).
I was wondering what I'm missing in the 2.6.32 kernel setup that might prevent tvtime from working correctly with that kernel. I'm using the nouveau driver for that matter, last night I tried running the nvidia prop. drivers (173, 96) but then Xorg didn't start anymore until I removed the proprietary drivers.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Uwe
