Hi,

I'm looking for a DVB-T card for my mandy2006 box. Before buying anything I want to ask if anyone can recommend some brand / model?

I rather choose PCI card with both, analog and digital TV and video-in connection, like this.

Thanks,

Timo

I did get the error just with cheap, "noname" blank DVDs. With better disks there is no problem.

OK, thanks. With LE2005 I couldn't make ATI RC-remote work. Now with 2006 it works without any tricks. If I want to watch videos on TV-screen, I have to use OpenGL video drivers.

Maybe I just go Ixthusdans way.

glxgears
270 frames in 5.1 seconds = 52.866 FPS

glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

FPS does'nt look very good...

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is software related problem but;

I'm tryin to burn Video-DVD with K3b. I drop *.VOB files to VIDEO_TS directory and press "burn".

Everything goes fine some time, but then I get this error: Input / Output error

I tried also KLVEmkdvd and result was same error.

Help me, I'm runnig out of blank DVDs.

Edit:

I'm sorry. There is already topic about very similar problem: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=28924

Section "dri"

Does this look OK?

Section "Module"
   # This loads the DBE extension module.

How about this?

I just installed Mandy 2006 free download version and it looks great. I just wondering if it's possible to get ATI graphic gard drivers work correcly in this mandy version? 2006 uses Xorg 6.9 and latest ATI driver seems to be for Xorg 6.8. I can install 6.8 drivers without any errors and run fglrxconfig normally, but fglrxinfo tells me that I'm still running Mesa...

Should I wait for new ati drivers, join the mandriva club and download drivers or buy Nvidia garphic gard?

I' just have to choose "opengl" for video driver in xine parameters and video works in both screens...

(Fist problem is still unsolved; installing ATI conrol panel seems to be impossible in 2005 LE.)

OK, thanks.

Can anyone explain this: TV-OUT works fine in both display modes, mirror, and clone. In clone mode I can have high resolution and good refresh rate but no video on TV-screen. In mirror mode resolution and refresh rate are poor but I can see video in both screens. If I remember right, it works same way in windows.

What other choices do I have? Is there any hardware profile tools in mandriva, so I can create different configurations for watching videos and for "normal use"

How about nVidia graphic cards? Or should I just buy stand-alone DVD-player with DivX support...

I'm looking for easy (rather GUI) way to do that. I'm using free downloaded version of LE2005. Does anyone know is ATI support better in non-free versions?

Latest update in this case:.

I tried two other distros, Suse 9.3 and Kubuntu Hoary Hedgehog 5.04. Ati control panel works fine, but did not solve my problem. Its not possible to change from "single monitor" to "mirror mode". I'm giving up with this. Maybe with some other graphic card

I think you have to join Mandriva club to have registration key. Note that the membeship is not free.

Long story short, you will need to modify the name of the library.

Noobish question: How do I do that? I'd try to:

Is this Mandy - Fedora related problem or ATI - linux problem? What kind of graphic card I shoud have to get TV-out with video work easy?

Are these files what I'm looking for?

I will try that tomorrow. Just asking if I'm getting this right: export QTDIR= tells the location of qt directory. So if your ques is wrong, I can try to find the directory and export correct location?

Both are installed.

Hi,

I did download ati-driver-installer-8.16.20-i386.run from ATIs website and made "by the book" installation. After that I ran fglrxconfig in terminal. Everything went OK and hardware is working fine.

What I need to do, is change view modes between "single screen" and "mirror mode". I suppose there is some kind of GUI to control graphic gard? I can't find any...

After running installer, I found fglrx_panel_sources.tgz in /usr/src/ATI/, so I unpacked the file and did:

Google told me that this error is QT related. I have QT3 installed. If Anyone has any ideas how to install this control panel OR any other ways to change view modes without running fglrxconfig and reboot.

"Standard" installation of Mandriva 2005 LE with 2.6.11-6mdk kernel, ATI Radeon 9550 SE

Thanks, Timo

Hi,

Does anyone have any ideas how to set up g550 dualhead tv-out. I have these instructions to do the trick, but TV-screen stays black...

I'm not sure about this, but I think the problem is in Xorg settings. I did install vidix and matroxset succesfully (see instructions) , and those seems to work fine, except there is no picture in TV.

I'm quite new in linux, so some kind of step-by-step guide would be very nice...

I'm using mandriva 2005 LE with kernel 2.6.11-6mdk

Open a console, login as root and type: depmod -ae (that commant tells the kernel there is a new module.). After that do modprobe snd-bt-sco

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Still same error :(

[root@amd]# su

[root@amd]# depmod -ae

[root@amd]# modprobe snd_bt_sco

FATAL: Module snd_bt_sco not found.

[root@amd]#

edit: modprobe snd_bt_sco, not snd-bt-sco (anyway, result is same)

Hi,

I'm trying to connect Jabra BT 200 headset with my computer. I built and installed everything without any problems or errors following the instructions in Bluetooth-alsa. Problem is that I can't load the module:

root: # modprobe snd-bt-sco

FATAL: Module snd-bt-sco not found.

I suppose the module is somewhere??

I'm running Mandriva 2005 LE with kernel 2.6.11-12mdk

Any hints?

BR,

Timo
