Project update

   I've been working on my multimedia computer again. I gave up trying to get X-windows working with the TV-out of the card and the monitor (the one that dosen't even work anymore) at the same time. I just went and got a VGA to Video active converter. So now I can just plain old display standard 1024x768 graphics on the bigscreen AND the (theoretical) monitor just fine. Maybe one day I will play with the dualview (this card has 2 VGA ports) feature, but later. So, X is working just fine, I can get started with MythTV. I had to get sound working. Ugh. Every little detail. Sound works now. Finally, I got to start playing with Myth itself. It dosen't see my tuner cards. Looks like I have to install Video-4-Linux. Okay, later. I'm done with that machine for today. But at least I got a lot done on it for now. What fun it is dealing with every little minor miniscule detail. I wish I had faster wireless on it though.
