|If I change the appearance the display changes to. If I change tuner/video
|the video signal changes. So the control functions seems to work.
A few questions and things to try:
1) Which version of the driver are you using
2) By "the display changes too" do you mean that when you, for example,
adjust the brightness up, you see the screen get brighter?
3) When you change tuner/video, what visual cues do you have that anything
happened -- you said you see the video signal change?
4) As the screen gets brighter do you see solid white or do you see any
background static in there?
The fact that you see something change with the appearance controls
confirms that the driver is dumping images into the driver memory buffer.
5) Sounds like either 1) the tuner isn't tuned right, 2) the video signal
is somehow being disabled, or 3) there's a problem in fxtv with the
color-space conversion code that crops up on your particular video card.
If its one of the former two, whether you see static or not will help point
that out. In case its the latter, try playing with the colorbar and
pixel swapping options with direct video disabled (which you said
is what its defaulting to). E.g.:
fxtv -disableDirectV -colorbars -nobswap2Bpp
Here's the full list of options to play with depending on your video mode:
15bpp/16bpp MODES: -nobswap2Bpp, -bswap2Bpp
24bpp (3Bpp) MODES: -nobswap3Bpp, -bswap3Bpp
24/32bpp(4Bpp) MODES: -nobswap4Bpp, -bswap4Bpp,
-nowswap4Bpp, -wswap4Bpp,
6) If your card supports it, run in other color depths (8,15,16,24,32 bits
per pixel) and see if you get the same result.
6) Finally, please mail me the output of:
"fxtv -debug startup", and
"xdpyinfo"
and which video card you're using.
Thanks,
Randall
