Bug 135570 – mythtv-0.19_p9163-r1 preview window ghosting

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert Forsman 2006-06-04 15:25:08 UTC]

In the video preview window of the mythfrontend recording selection screen I am seeing colored ghosts in the video, slanted.  I would say it's an instance of this:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/1167

But I have a hauppauge PVR 250, not a 350.  My display is handled by xorg with an nvidia driver.

Nah. The MythTV report describes a pretty specific PVR-350 issue. Unfortunately they didn't say what changeset fixed it or any notes with it. But what they're describing is setting up the ivtv frame buffer. This is very different from Nvidia drivers. You can see based on the ivtv ioctl call outs they talked about.

I'd lean towards the pretty common Nvidia driver issues with stuff like this. What drivers have you tested this on? What have you changed that this started to crop up?

emerge --info?

This problem started when I upgraded mythtv from 0.18 to 0.19.

I've been running
nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r7
nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r5
for as long as I can remember. (I got -r1 on Feb 2005 according to /var/log/emerge.log)
