[mythtv-users] Nvidia-FX5200 TVOut Xorg Configs

[johnny@fishcounts.com]

Not quite sure what you are saying when you say you get snow and diagonal
lines, etc. If you do how can you see anything?

Resolution isn't sharp? I hope you're not trying to compare a standard TV to
even the cheapest PC monitor because you can't compare. You can however try
the nvidia-settings app which will let you adjust some settings for text to
look clearer but video doesn't look as good. Your choice.

I run 800x600. What more would you need on your plain TV? They are talking
mode lines and etc for HDTV's and beyond. Plain old TV's you are probably
even ok with 640x480.

Hi All,

	Just bought a Forsa Nvidia fx5200 Graphics card. It comes with an
SVideo Output and a Svideo to Composite cable.

I tried it out (the whole day yesterday) and was not able to get a clean
and "teriffic" looking TV-Out.

I've read multiple email posts on mythtv and searched google as well but
I've not been able to get a clean signal on the TVout. I keep getting
"snow" on the screen. Also, in most cases, when the screen is all black
(Blank), I will see what looks like scanlines running across the screen.
(diagnonally).

Also, the resolution isn't sharp, the fonts looks Blur too. (In console
mode, I can barely read the output. It looks like it's been
'strikethrough')

I read about modelines but I'm guess I still don't understand it. (and
the notion that it can fry my hardware is making me nervous)

Can anyone help? Post your Xorg.conf file?

BTW, I'm using a SVIDEO to COMPOSITE cable. Will this degrade quality?
My TV don't have an SVIDEO Input.

Thanks
