Hello!
I am running MythTV on a GA-K8N51PVMT-9 with integrated 6150 and I use the 8756 nvidia drivers.
I am also using a very old TV with only RF input and until my economy allows I will have to hook my HTPC up to a video which in turn is sending the signal to the TV. Not the best solution...
Out from my HTPC I have SVIDEO which is sent to a SCART on the video. The following options are set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "TV"
When I use the vesa driver I get a colour output on the TV but with the nvidia driver the output is much better but in black and white.
I have heard of people having trouble with SVIDEO/COMPOSITE but in this case it seems that the problem is with the nvidia driver behaving differently compared to the vesa driver.
Could someone explain what is different/wrong?
Best regards,
Peter Carlsson
