[mythtvnz] VDPAU package can be removed?

[Aaron Drysdale]

Thanks for the assistance. I'm using Ubuntu. How do I shut down X? Will this work?

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

And when you say "Exit X" do you mean shutdown X as above?

Hi Aaron

Can you try the following and post the results as an attachment

1. Shutdown X / GDM on your box

2. From the command line as root run

 startx -- -logverbose 6

The double "-" is important.

3. Exit X and copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log or whatever log file your distro
creates.

We should then see all of the video modes your TV is reporting.
