[mythtv-users] xorg.conf for PAL TV out, can't get it to work

[Karsten Jeppesen]

Thanks guys, all of you.
I got it to work yesterday.

Going to nVidias website made the difference.
You have to install the nVidia driver from their website and READ THE 
INSTRUCTIONs.
But actually - it should find its way into the documentation of MythTV

Thanks again
Karsten
