See the URL. Basically I took the patch for Myth 21 and backported it to Myth 20 for mythtv-0.20.2_p15634. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have an LCD (or VFD) device on a system with mythtv and Gentoo 2.Be at kernel level 2.6.26 3.You get an LCD error message in the mythfrontend output when you start mythfrontend First I patched the ebuild file for my patch, and copied the patch to the files directory. After I rebuilt mythtv, the problem was solved. --- /tmp/mythtv-0.20.2_p15634.ebuild 2008-08-20 23:30:39.127090918 -0500 +++ ./mythtv-0.20.2_p15634.ebuild 2008-08-20 01:43:01.798270256 -0500 @@ -114,6 +114,7 @@ # svnversion in MythTV's build doesn't work sed -e "s:\`(svnversion \$\${SVNTREEDIR} 2>\/dev\/null) || echo Unknown\`:${SVNREV}:" \ -i "${S}"/version.pro || die "svnversion sed failed" + epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-lcdd.patch }
Created attachment 163441 [details, diff] Patch to get Mythtv to correctly attach to an LCD daemon This is a port of the file mentioned in the patch below from Myth 21 to Myth 20. http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5421
John, I strongly suggest you upgrade to MythTV 0.21. It'll be going stable very shortly and 0.20.x packages will be leaving the tree there after.
Fixed in mythtv-0.21_p18314 or newer.
