[mythtv-users] nVidia FX5600 TV-Out (VIVO) and xorg.conf

I am told that alongside the DVI and VGA outputs at the back, there is a 9
pin mini DIN. This is what I will be using for output as I just realised I
do not have a DVI input decive. And the only adapters are DVI to HDMI, which
I also do not have. I've also just realised that the cable I am using which
fits my 9 pin mini DIN is one that I use for my TV card to receive video and
audio from my TV. This makes me wonder:
1. Can this cable do output from the video card?
2. Is the 9 pin mini DIN socket for TV in on the card? (I doubt this given
the card is an FX5600)
3. What should I put in xorg.conf as the source for the TV eg COMPOSITE?
The 9 pin mini DIN cable has on one side an s-video plug. If I then plug an
s-video to s-video cable nothing shows on the TV. Even with the TVOutFormat
set to S-Video. The same cable also has RCA components, and I have slot a
composite cable in there to a composite on the TV. No go as well.
