Randal, Roger
I've just tried fxtv-0.48 with week old 4.0-current (with an unmodified
driver) with very encouraging but not totally successful results.
I have a 8MB Matrox MGA 2064W graphics accelerator, and a Hauppage tuner
whose details Roger is getting extremely familiar with (8-). I run my
display at 1280*1024, with a depth of 16.
A small, non fatal problem with the packing list:
===> fxtv-0.48 depends on shared library: jpeg.9 - found
fxtv-0.48: "/usr/ports/graphics/jpeg-6b" non-existent -- dependency list incomplete
^^
Putting just the bare minimum United Kingdom "regionalisation" changes,
long with local TV station channel numbers, into app-defaults/Fxtv
gives excellent picture quality on all but one channel, with AFC turned
off. Experimenting with fine tuning for the remaining one ("Channel 5",
UK channel 37, automatic 599.25 MHz, best result 598.00 Mhz) allowed me
to hard wire the best frequency in Fxtv. Good.
Turning AFC back on, tuning to another channel and to "Channel 5"
pulled the frequency back to 599.25 MHz. Turning AFC off, tuning to
another channel and back to channel number 37 again gave 599.25. There
is something strange going on here with tuning Roger, but I'm not sure
what. The arrival of fine tuning in this release also explains why you
thought there was such a facility, but I couldn't find it in fxtv-0.47
(8-)
I no longer see a slight "edge wrap-around" (cured by takeing the mouse
to the screen edges), of the entire X display if the FXTV display ever
goes off screen. Good.
In TV mode (where I used to have assorted indescribeable problems)
I now get a nice clear rectangular image of part of original screen
display, with about two thirds of the fxtv display visible in the bottom
right corner, and fxtv emits the error message "TVSCREENCapConfigure()
failed: Direct video region outside bounds of display". The image change
rate is very erratic - sometimes taking up to 10 seconds to change from
one frame to another, sometimes managing several frames a second. Am
I shooting myself in the foot or is this another wrinkle on the MGA
problems others report?
dmesg, fxtv and xdpyinfo outputs attached.
