Here is my question.
I am using FC2 with a nVidia GeForce 4 MX 420. I have been using Jarod's
guide to setup my box.
I have s-video working, so I can see my desktop on the TV screen, but when I
do a test capture, the window where the video is supposed to play is all
green.
At the same time, when I do a test capture, I can see the video on my
monitor. Why is this happening? I figured everything that was visible on
my monitor would be transferred to the tv after I got S-video working.
Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of
the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
