[mythtv-users] TV-Out with a PNY Gforce 4 MX 440

[Markus]

I saw the light...I got further, but I believe Xwindows dies after the
Nvidia logo was displayed (yeah!) but then when it's loading up (I think it
showed that it was starting CUPS) it froze.  Ssh'ed into machine and
switched the XF86Config files back, and issued a reboot.  (Man, I'm getting
good at that :-)

Ideas?  I've seen some mention logging; is there a way to enable it or view
my log?  (Newbie to Linux)...

Aha, I believe you *have* followed things to a T. But the nvidia
driver's auto-detection of connected displays doesn't like a lot of AV
switches. Many of them don't support the flow of two-way data to allow
proper detection. Try adding the line:

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"

Or, for mirrored display on monitor and TV, try:

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,TV"

(Those are from memory, but I think they're right -- double-check
nVidia's docs to be sure).
