opengl bug with nvidia 8600 GT and MythTV
I had bought a new Nvidia 8600 GT card for my MythTV server/player. As this card is not supported to do chromakey for the OSD I wanted to get OpenGL to do the same trick. But I ran into the infamous black screen bug which Mark fixed with his patches. After a steep learning curve I have finally written a tutorial to build your own Mythbuntu packages to fix the error. Aditionaly I had to remove "--enable-glx-procaddrarb" from the configuration as it keeps the error on 64bit systems. And don't forget to install the latest Nvidia drivers (177 or better).- apt-get build-dep mythtv
- apt-get source mythtv
- apt-get install devscripts
- download the mythtv sources (mythtv_0.21.0+fixes17880-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu1.diff.gz, mythtv_0.21.0+fixes17880-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu1.dsc, mythtv_0.21.0+fixes17880-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu1_all.deb) from: http://uk.weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mythtv/
- dpkg-source -x mythtv_0.21.0+fixes17880-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu1.dsc
- cd mythtv-0.21.0+fixes17880
- dch -i (put some comments in about what you changed. In the version number, use the old version number plus a +local1 or something similar. This will make sure that you're version is marked newer, but that if an even "newer" version came out, you can still get it.)
- download all patches from http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5324 or directly at Mark Kenalls homepage.
- Apply the patches in accending order (patch -p1 < fixes1_26.diff)
- remove the "--enable-glx-procaddrarb" editing everywhere it with "nano debian/rules"
- dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
- profit! or at least get some functioning OpenGL packages for your nvidia 8600 GT card
