OK, so now I’ve got TV operating properly when watching LiveTV or Recordings. The final problem continues to be that MythTV menus and the program guide do not show up on my TV, instead I get shown a black screen with white cursor.
Interestingly, the cursor remains when the LiveTV is showing which is leading me to believe that there is some sort of strange configuration problem with the ivtv driver that I am using and X Windows.
I posted a message on the mailing list last night appealing for help, however I have not been getting much response. I elected to email a few people that had that problem as well to see how they fixed it, and I was told they’d be willing to assist me in getting my TV-out working again. Hopefully, I am very close to having at least a pseudo-operating MythTV system again. Luckily, the backend is still functioning so our shows have been getting picked up normally, it’s just getting the frontend to display for us that is the problem.
After I get this system restored to its previous grandeur, I am not making ANY configuration changes except for RPM-style updates to MythTV. I will hold off on any infrastructure or OS upgrades until I have all shows backed up that we will miss.
