Erich Zigler:
|Im having some trouble with FXTV and my Nvidia RIVA TNT2 video card. When I
|start FXTV I get audio but no picture with FXTV. The picture is completely
|black. With my S3 ViRGE card I get visual, and audio.
|
|I was wondering if anyone else has had these problems before and what they
|did to fix them.
Ok, well on the TNT2, I'll bet you can get a picture using
'fxtv -disableDirectV'. What XFree86 version are you running? And are you
running NVidia drivers with that?
Chances are DGA isn't quite happy with your X/driver setup on a TNT2. The
above command disables DGA mode and uses XImages mode. Check your "startx
-- -probeonly output and see what it says about DGA. What do you have in
your XF86Config related to DGA? Also, try "fxtv -debug startup".
FWIW, Matt Reimer reportedly had fxtv working fine on a TNT2 with XFree86
4.0.2 earlier this (err...) last year. Years ago, Amacio had DGA working
fine on a TNT2 with 3.9.16 using:
Section "Device"
Identifier "tnt2"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "PCI Retry"
EndSection
