It seems that something is not stable with the X server or with the card drivers. For now, |
| 17 |
perhaps forget MythTV and just see if you can get a stable input running with something like |

tvtime - |

[ N] media-tv/tvtime (0.9.12): High quality television application for use with video capture cards. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Perhaps some tweaking to /etc/X11/xorg.conf is needed or different params to the video card |
| 23 |
driver to change some options. If the system won't play live tv, without issue, messing with MythTV |
| 24 |
won't fix it. |
