AV Wizard can be accessed by pressing the Shift key when the Kubuntu with LMCE boots up. In the process of booting, at a time, you'll hear a series of beeps. You must be prepared before these beeps to press the Shift key. When you'll hear them, press Shift key and keep it pressed. Then you'll enter in AV Wizard. If instead of AV Wizard you see black screen or "no signal" message on display, try to switch the connector type as it is described in section '''II'''.

==Section I==

===Resolution Settings===
Here, you can choose the desired output from your video card to TV or monitor. If you’ll choose '''VGA''', there are many available resolutions and refresh rates. If the optimum resolution for your display is not listed, please see [[Custom Display Resolutions]].
====VGA====
[[Image:Avw1.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Resolution Settings]]
 
====DVI/HDMI====
[[Image:Avw2.jpg|thumb|500px|left|DVI/HDMI Resolutions]]
[[Image:300px-DVI Connector.jpg|thumb|200px|left|'''DVI/HDMI''' means that you can use a special cable from the
DVI/HDMI output of your video card to DVI/HDMI input of LCD TV/monitor. ]]
 
You have the same range of resolutions like at VGA. Choose one that is suitable for your display device.
====Component====
[[Image:Avw3.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Component Resolution Options]]
[[Image:180px-Component video RCA.jpg|thumb|200px|left|'''''Component''''' uses another special cable which is consisting at every extremity of three jacks (red, blue and green). The display and the video card must have these three jacks. ]]
 

The resolutions for component are made for using with wide screen monitors and TV’s. Choose the one that is best suited to your display device.
====Composite====
[[Image:Avw4.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Composite Resolution Options]]
[[Image:300px-Composite.jpg|thumb|200px|left|'''''Composite''''' is something like a TV out from your video card to the monitor/LCD TV. It uses another special cable with a yellow jack. Like at component, the video card and the display must have this kind of input connector.]]

 
If you are choosing Composite, you can also choose one TV standard from the list, supported by your display.

====S-Video====
[[Image:Avw5.jpg|thumb|500px|left|S-Video Resolution Options]]
[[Image:300px-SVideoConnector.jpg|thumb|200px|left|'''''S-Video''''' is another way to send the signal from the video card to monitor/TV. The jack for the cable looks like in the image below.]]

 
As you can see in the picture above, you will choose one of the TV standards in the list.

===Confirmation of Resolution===
After choosing a resolution, a counter will appear on your screen which will stay 15 seconds. In this time, you can decide if the resolution is good for your monitor or not. If you like it, press Continue. If not, press Back.

[[Image:Avw6.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Confirmation of Resolution]]
 
===Select Graphical User Interface===
The next step of the A/V wizard refers to the graphical aspect of user experience. Here, you have three options:
::Please look a [[Selecting the Right UI]] for more information regarding the best option to choose.
• Static images, no overlay (lightweight) – It uses only static images and works on nearly all graphics platforms.

• OpenGL with overlay (medium)

• OpenGL with alpha blending (high-end) - '''Not all Graphics Cards are capable of this mode'''
::In this case your media is always first and foremost, and the media is always full-screen. If you're not watching any media, Pluto downloads the 'most interesting' photos from flickr.com and presents smooth sliding, cross-fading gallery art as your media.

[[Image:Av3.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Selection of Graphical User Interface]]
 

'''Testing'''
Be sure to test your desired resolution to avoid having to go back through AVWizard to revert changes. The results of the test vary but always look something like the following. The resolution of this image is 640x480 so the cube is very large. A successful test of UI2 with alpha would show a flame thrower bathing the cube in fire. The background showing in diagonally opposed squares over the cube is expected behavior.

[[Image:Av4.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Selection of Graphical User Interface]]
 

===Adjust Image Size===
The wizard will guide you to the adjustment of the image size. If your TV doesn't overscan, meaning crop off the edges, you will see all 4 yellow arrows completely on this step. If your TV does overscan, be sure to hit the - key to reduce the image until all 4 arrows are fully visible. Use the arrow keys to shift the image. The goal is that all 4 arrows are centered and as close to the edges of your screen as possible, but without being cropped off. Once you made the correct setup press OK and go the next screen.

This is where LinuxMCE will display the user interface. Your movies and media themselves are always full-screen and are not effected by this.

[[Image:Avw9.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Adjust Image Size]]
 

===Audio Output Connector===
Next set up the audio system. Again, you have to look at the sound card to see where is connected the cable which goes to the sound system. If you connected the cable to the correct output you have only to click the choice on the screen. If you will hear a melody, then everything is ok, you made the correct setup.

[[Image:Av6.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Audio Output Connector]]

[[Image:Avw11.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Volume Adjustment]]
 

===Dolby Audio Test===
If your audio has Dolby, then you will have an additional screen, if not then you will bypass these two screen.
[[Image:AVWizardStep7.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Dolby Audio Test]]
 
===DTS Audio Test===
If your audio has Digital Theater Sound(DTS) then you will have an additional screen, if not then you will bypass this screen.
[[Image:AVWizardStep8.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Dolby Audio Test]]
 

===Final Confirmation===
The final screen of the AV Wizard will show you the settings that you’ve chosen for the LinuxMCE system. If you agree with these setting press ''I agree'', if not, press ''I do not agree'' and you’ll be able to make the settings again.

[[Image:Avw12.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Final Confirmation]]
 

==Section II==

To choose the resolutions and the connector during the wizard there are keyboard key shortcuts - these are only to get a display during the wizard so that you can see what you are doing. You still need to choose the correct ultimate resolution and output using the wizard for when you are actually using LMCE. By default, the AV Wizard has the resolution 640x480 on VGA. To choose the connector you have to press the keys from 1 to 5 (1=DVI, 2=VGA, 3=Component, 4=Composite, 5=S-Video) and the letters Q, W, and L (Q=DVI-2,W=VGA-2,L=LVDS - Q is under 1=DVI, W is under 2=VGA). To choose a resolution you have to press the keys from 6 to 0 (6=640x480, 7=1024x768, 8=720p, 9=1080i, 0=1080p). For choosing the resolution and connector you have to be in the initial screen of AV Wizard.

[[Image:Avw13.jpg|thumb|500px|left|Welcome]]
 

When you are in this screen press the key the desired connector. The screen will flicker and will return to this initial screen. Then, press the key for the desired resolution. Again, the screen will flicker and will return to the initial screen, using the resolution that you chose. After you made the setup, you can continue with the next settings. Note - the "flickering" whilst LMCE changes output or resolution can take up to 15 seconds to complete, so if you have no display, make sure you wait at least this long to settle down before continuing to the next keyboard shortcut.

==Troubleshooting==
===Driver Issues===
<strike>*''1080i and 1080p are not fully supported because of some factory issues of NVidia drivers''.</strike>

===The AVWizard does not start===
*I hear the beeps but I only have a black screen.
::Please refer to Section II above as it will tell you how to start the AVWizard with a connection other than VGA.
::Also confirm whether you have more than one graphics chipset - this will be the case, for instance, if you have added a graphics card to a motherboard that has integrated graphics included with it. In this case you may need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file manually. You can do this by hitting ESC during the GRUB boot menu. Choose the Recovery Console. Then from the command line type "lspci" and note the PCI Bus ID of the card you wish to use. Now use a text editor like (sudo) nano or (sudo) joe to edit the xorg.conf file - find the Bus ID option in the Device section and correct this to be the Bus ID you noted above. Save and reboot.
===Re-run the AVWizard on a MD===
In a Terminal window:
ssh moon<deviceid> /usr/bin/pluto/RebootWithAVWizard

The purpose behind this page is to give a compatibility probability list for unsupported chipsets, and to confirm these when possible.

''' -- All GPU's listed here are considered UNSUPPORTED --''' though this matrix seeks to give you solutions that we will not automate, but have figured out as workarounds. All GPU's ''not'' listed here are currently believed to be supported. If not please notify [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/User:L3mce L3mce] preferably in IRC, or at the forum. For help with problems with supported GPU's that are not working, check [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/1004_Video_Hardware_Compatibility_List#Solutions_to_Supported_GPU.27s_that_are_not_working here].

Some common information you will want to get and use. Please give this data when creating a ticket or forum post about a card not working/not listed here.

* Begin any of this sort of work as root. All commands in this matrix assume you are root. If you have ssh'ed into your MD, you are already root. If you are on a hybrid then:

==dpkg==
Should any of the solutions below throw back dpkg errors then:
dpkg --configure -a
A working system should NOT produce any result. If it DOES produce output, then it has tried to fix itself. Try commands again. If there are STILL problems, you need further assistance to stabilize your system.

==MythTV==
Some of these configurations cause MythTV to not utilize !default correctly... so in the MythTV '''front-end''' (NOT backend) setup/general, you may need to specify HDMI or plughw:1,7 (example assumes you are on card 1, device 7) from the detected options available in the audio setup. In some rare cases with ATI or Intel you may find it necessary to drop the device number... so turn its auto-detected "plughw:1,7" into "plughw:1". I recommend using a keyboard with a delete key, because in myth, backpsace takes you back a menu.

To get to MythTV general setup, read [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/1004_Video_Hardware_Compatibility_List#Audio_everywhere_but_MythTV this].

= Solutions =
All solutions here can be copied/pasted, but '''assume you are root'''. Please begin sessions by typing "sudo -i" without quotes and enter your pass when prompted. It is recommended that you '''reboot''' after any of these solutions. /usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard.sh is probably best for testing after applying solutions.

==Add Intel Advanced Support==
apt-add-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
# For additional performance issues, the following may help
# apt-add-repository ppa:f-hackenberger/x220-intel-mesa
apt-get update

==Add nVidia Current Driver Support==
With the 304+ nvidia driver we recommend pulling down alsa .24 at the same time as prescribed here.

/usr/pluto/bin/Stop_X.sh
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
apt-get update
apt-get install -y nvidia-current

==Add ATI Catalyst Support==
/usr/pluto/bin/Stop_X.sh
wget -P /tmp http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip
apt-get install unzip
unzip /tmp/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip
sh /tmp/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
Then follow the instructions.

For newer cards, unfortunately a kernel upgrade is required... so we will do the following, and start fresh:
* Note: This code cannot just be dumped into terminal. After install or removal of the headers and kernel images, each will halt.
apt-get update
apt-get -yf remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* --force-yes
apt-get -yf install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri --force-yes
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

NewKernel="linux-image${CurKernel}-lts-backport-natty"
NewHeaders="linux-headers${CurKernel}-lts-backport-natty"

apt-get -yf install "$NewKernel"
apt-get -yf install "$NewHeaders"
apt-get -yf remove linux-headers${CurKernel}
apt-get -yf remove linux-image${CurKernel}
apt-get -yf dist-upgrade
In the case of MDs, sometimes we will need to chmod +r /tftpboot/XX/* where XX is the MD number

==Add ALSA Backport .24 Support==
apt-get install -yf linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(uname -r)

==Add ALSA .24 Support==
add-apt-repository ppa:team-iquik/alsa
apt-get update
apt-get install -y alsa-base
apt-get install -y alsa-utils

==Speaker Test==
'''NOTE: This command sequence requires the user set the cParam and dParam values'''

Where '''cParam'''=<your card #> and '''dParam'''=<your device #>. For the standard discovery need, these will be revealed by:
aplay -l | grep -i hdmi
nVidia GT chipsets reveal device numbers 3, 7, 8, and 9. Almost all of them are device 7. If you see the devices in aplay and you do not have audio, test each until you get signal.

cParam=
dParam=

else
speaker-test -c2 -l1 -t sine -Dplughw:${cParam}
fi
else StatusMessage "You must set the variables for both cParam and dParam. They cannot equal null"
fi

==Upgrade Kernel to Natty==
apt-get update

=Solutions to Supported GPU's that are not working=
Due to some bugs, things which work for just about everyone do not work for a few oddballs

==General Problems==
====Nothing in aplay====
* Confirm aplay -l is being run as root.
* Run the list of commands [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/1004_Video_Hardware_Compatibility_List#Allin1 here] and see that backports AND alsa-base .24 are not both installed.

====No AVWizard/no Audio but listed in aplay====
* Change [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Audio_in_1004 Alternate Sound Configuration setting]
* Confirm that there is not a lingering (broken) asound.conf. See [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Audio_in_1004 here] for examples of correct configs. Simply removing the offending /etc/asound.conf (and probably /etc/xorg.con*) and rebooting should allow it to continue.
* Try installing [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/1004_Video_Hardware_Compatibility_List#Add_nVidia_Current_Driver_Support the ppa] version of the current driver.
** This can be done automatically if you move your [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/1004_Video_Hardware_Compatibility_List#pciid pciid] from Driver_260_Supported to Driver_Current_Supported in /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
** If you do this manually make sure that you also either also make the change prescribed above, or hash out CheckVideoDriver in /etc/init.d/a0start_avwizard

====AVWizard sizing incorrectly====
* rm /etc/asound.conf /etc/X11/xorg.con*; reboot

====Audio everywhere but MythTV====
* Change Audio in MythTV front-end setup
** Start MythTV
** Let channel tune, and overlay diminish before pressing escape.
** Exit playback menu and select Setup/General. Advance until you get to Audio.
** Press left and right to select audio setups. If HDMI, try the one labeled HDMI first, for instance.
** Failing that, arrow over until you get to the card and number, eg plughw:1,7. This should match the output of grep plughw /etc/asound.conf | sort -u

==nVidia==
===GT series (including ions)===

====No audio, but seen in aplay:====
* Use [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/1004_Video_Hardware_Compatibility_List#Speaker_Test speaker-test] to determine which, if any, will make noise, using the output of aplay -l to assign the correct card number.
* Change line 225 of SetupAudioVideo.sh CardDevice from 7 to X where X is the device number you could hear.

1004 Video Hardware Compatibility List

2013-02-01T03:00:18Z

L3mce: /* Upgrade Kernel to Latest Oneiric */

[[Category: Hardware Lists]]
[[Category: Compatibility]]
= GPU Compatibility List =

The purpose behind this page is to give a compatibility probability list for unsupported chipsets, and to confirm these when possible.

''' -- All GPU's listed here are considered UNSUPPORTED --''' though this matrix seeks to give you solutions that we will not automate, but have figured out as workarounds. All GPU's ''not'' listed here are currently believed to be supported. If not please notify [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/User:L3mce L3mce] preferably in IRC, or at the forum. For help with problems with supported GPU's that are not working, check [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/1004_Video_Hardware_Compatibility_List#Solutions_to_Supported_GPU.27s_that_are_not_working here].

Some common information you will want to get and use. Please give this data when creating a ticket or forum post about a card not working/not listed here.

* Begin any of this sort of work as root. All commands in this matrix assume you are root. If you have ssh'ed into your MD, you are already root. If you are on a hybrid then:
sudo -i
* Update PCI IDs
update-pciids
* Detailed card information
lspci -nn | grep -w 'VGA'
* Card PCI ID
lspci -nn | grep -w 'VGA' | sed 's/.*://;s/\].*//'
* Audio cards that ALSA can see
aplay -l
* Look at ALSA config file
cat /etc/asound.conf
* Look at xine config file
tail -4 /etc/pluto/xine.conf
* Check ALSA version
apt-cache policy alsa-base | grep Installed
* Check ALSA backports installation status
apt-cache policy linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(uname -r) | grep Installed


All together, minus rooting:

update-pciids
lspci -nn | grep -w 'VGA'
lspci -nn | grep -w 'VGA' | sed 's/.*://;s/\].*//'
aplay -l
cat /etc/asound.conf
tail -4 /etc/pluto/xine.conf
apt-cache policy alsa-base | grep Installed
apt-cache policy linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(uname -r) | grep Installed

'''Audio''': For the terms of this list, "audio" refers to digital audio from the card, typically HDMI audio. For further understanding of how audio currently works, please see the new [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Audio_in_1004 audio scheme] for possible resolution of audio issues without installing things you do not need. '''If your cards audio device shows up in aplay then nothing more is required to install''', only a configuration change is necessary, as detailed in the link.
