[mythtv-users] GeForce 2 GTS tv out

[Owen B. Mehegan]

I'm trying to get the svideo TV out on my Geforce 2 GTS to work. Here's
the Devices section of my XF86Config-4 file:

Section "Device"
       Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
       Driver          "nvidia"
       Option      "UseFBDev"              "true"
       Option      "TwinView"              "on"
       Option      "TwinViewOrientation"           "clone"
       Option      "SecondMonitorVertRefresh"      "60"
       Option      "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
       Option      "TVStandard"            "NTSC-M"
       Option      "MetaModes"             "800x600, 800x600; 800x600,
800x600"
EndSection

Using these settings, when I run startx I get output on my TV, but it's
garbled and unreadable, a series of red lines running vertically down
the screen. Maybe I want to tweak the refresh and horizontal sync
values?

Then, after exiting X, my console appears on the TV but everything is
shifted about 1.5" to the right, and the text seems to shimmer instead
of sitting still on the screen. It's readable, but it would probably
give you a headache pretty quickly.

Has anyone else used a GF2 with their TV? Could you send me a copy of
your X config? Thanks in advance,
