<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">Just got a new Sharp Aquos LCD TV and am in the process of transitioning from my old tube TV (via s-video) to the new digital panel (via VGA).<br><br>I was able to find a modeline that enabled the panel's native 1360x768 resolution over VGA with 1:1 pixel mapping. The MythTV Gui looks fantastic at the higher resolution. The problem is, whenever I try to watch LiveTV or previously recorded programs, I get a black screen and the system locks up. I have to SSH in and reboot to get X back up and running.<br><br>The weird thing is, if I replace my xorg.conf with my previous xorg.conf for S-Video out and plug the Myth box back into the S-Video port of the new tv, it works flawlessly (although noticeably fuzzier), so it must be some kind of problem with my xorg.conf file. I lack the expertise to figure
out what changes need to be made.<br><br>I examined the mythfrontend.log, and found several error messages:<br><br>2007-12-04 17:22:57.592 Current Schema Version: 1160<br><span>2007-12-04 17:22:57.593 mythfrontend version: 0.20.20070821-1 <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mythtv.org">www.mythtv.org</a></span><br>2007-12-04 17:22:57.593 Enabled verbose msgs: important general<br>2007-12-04 17:22:58.545 Total desktop dim: 1360x768, with 1 screen[s].<br>2007-12-04 17:22:58.546 Using screen 0, 1360x768 at 0,0<br>2007-12-04 17:22:58.546 Switching to wide mode (neon-wide)<br>Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".<br>Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".<br>Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".<br>2007-12-04 17:22:58.556 Using the Qt painter<br>Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".<br>mythtv: could not connect to socket<br>mythtv: No such file or directory<br>lirc_init failed for
