Hi,
I'm using VDR 1.4.0-2, softdevice cvs 2006-5-30, nVidia 6200TC video card, nVidia binary driver 8762, Xorg 6.8.1, TV-out (NTSC) @ 800x600x24bpp, GCC 4.1.1 .
Newer nvidia cards do not support Overlay mode: http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/softdevice-devel/2006q1/001770.html
For OSD, if I use "psuedo", in full-screen mode, the entire OSD "blinks" when there is video and the OSD is not usable. If I use "software" for OSD setting, then OSD looks OK but when overlayed over video, OSD colors are all wrong.
Wrong OSD color only ? Or both video and OSD ?
Use softdevice setup OSD and try to change the HUE value to max (100). If you can read german, have a look at this: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=49914&hilight=nvidia+...
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
I've seen similar behavior on a TNT2 using the opensource "nv" driver, and other bizarre problems using ATI cards (both opensource and ATI proprietary drive), so I think something in softdevice OSD code is incorrect.
Radeons (rv280:9200 and rv350:9550) work fine even with pseudo mode using Xorg 7.0 here. The limitation in pseudo mode is, that it is not a real alphablend mode.
