[mythtv-users] Help: moving from composite to component - No X

I'm trying to change xorg.conf so that I can use the component out of
the Apple TV. I
had composite, and it worked fine. Now I want to reconfigure but X
won't start and I get the xorg error:
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
after I changed to:
# Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVOutFormat: "COMPONENT
That's all I changed. When that didn't work, I changed the TVStandard out:
# Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TVStandard" "HD480i"
that didn't work either.
So, I thought maybe the modes were wrong, so I messed with them. Still
no change.
Here's what I have in the Screen section now:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Configured Video Device"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "DPI" "100x100"
Option "AddARGBVisuals" "1"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "1"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "TV"
Option "UseEDID" "False"
# Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVOutFormat: "COMPONENT"
# Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TVStandard" "HD480i"
Option "TVOverScan" "0.80" #"0.65"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "Coolbits" "1"
# Option "NvAGP" "1"
# atv-bootloader poster uses metamodes on a TV and comments out Modes line below
# Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080" "1280x720" "1024x768" "720x480"
"800x600" "640x480"
# Modes "720x480" #"nvidia-auto-select" "720x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
This is going to a standard TV.
Any ideas?
Oh.. the main display (TV) works and shows the penguin/atv logo at
bootup and text is fine going to component. It's just that X doesn't
start.
oh...on last output before the login there might be some relevant msgs
(that I can't quite make out because the text on the left is not
visible):
..nning vga_reset
can't get console font: no space left on device
... no usable theme found for 320x200
..init failed
That 3 msg is curious. Is Ubuntu (8.04, moved to Mythbuntu) trying to
start up on 320x200 resolution?
Thanks for your help!
