If by "jaggies" you mean it isn't syncing then the only things I can think of are you either have the wrong TVStandard setting or a bad cable.

As for the MythTV app running behid the frontend, do you have your window manager set to automatically adjust focus?

Nope, only doing one at a time, either monitor or TV, but not both.  The
issue I was having was that I couldn't find the right sync settings so that
the svideo would work for X on a TV.  It'll boot fine and I'll see the POST
and all that good stuff, but as soon as the X server would start I'd get the
"jaggies"...

I'm still having the issue of the MythTv app running behind the mythfrontend
app...

Tim.

Same here.  GeForce 2 MX.  My only issue is it boots up with the TV-Out set
to PAL.  I'd love to be able to change that default.  These cards don't
easily, if at all, work with both a monitor and TV connected at the same
time.  I don't suppose that is your problem?

        I have this type of card.  What doesn't work for you?  I don't
have a separate monitor hooked up and occassionally, the console
driver doesn't detect the TV so I have to login blind or remotely.
Once I login and start XFree86 though, it always works.  I use
nVIDIA's drivers (version 1.0-4349) and the entries in my XF86Config
are:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    BusID       "PCI:3:0:0"

    Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option      "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
    Option      "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
    Option      "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"  # or "SVIDEO"
EndSection

My card has a CX25871 NTSC encoder and I use "nvtv" to set up
overscanning.  The default modes didn't look good but it wasn't too
hard to create a custom mode.  I can send you a patch for the values
that worked for me if you're interested.
