[mythtv-users] PVR-350 and TV Out - can't get it working

[Craig Isdahl]

Matt,

My money is on the xorg.conf file, I'm not an X user so am lost in this
area.  I'll look around to see if I can find a sample that might get me
sorted out.

When rebooting nothing shows on the TV screen (I'm using s-video to the TV).
There is a slight flicker on the TV monitor so I know there's a connection,
but nothing but black on the screen.


Here is my xorg.conf
