Actual Results: i just get strange green and blue colors? Expected Results: show me the wonderfull picture of my tv card. ;-)
Created attachment 22295 [details] XFree86 log file bug report at bugs.xfree86.org: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=983 tvtime bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=506987&aid=860987&group_id=64301
i compiled xfree without the savage scaling patch as well (suggestion from vektor from irc.freenode.org/#livid), but i didn't solved anything.
do you have any application which succesfully shows TV? I had a similar problem and if it's the same problem it's either a hardware problem or a X configuration problem. Try ttv from the xawtv package. If that works and shows you an actual image (rather than just static), then re-open this bug and attach your X configuration please.
xawtv runs without any problems. i cannot test ttv at the moment cause the harddisk died an i have to reinstall gentoo first. due to my vacation for the next two weeks i will do this in ~3 weeks. i get the same problem with mandrake 10 community, so i think its really a xfree bug.
Any update to this problem. I'll wait a couple days for a response and then close since I can't reproduce and there has been no additional information for many months.
hi, i bought a new graphic card. so i cannot provide any information anymore for the old setup. sorry.
Okay, the I'm going to close it as NEEDINFO, if some else runs into this same problem and actually happens to look for NEEDINFO bugs, then they should feel free to re-open this bug and post their information. No need to have extraneous bugs floating around that can't be solved without more information.
