Ok, <br>
So my video card is an ATI 7000 with s-video out.<br>
I have it connected to my TV and the audio works perfect<br>
but the video signal is scrammbled.<br>
I went into the properties of the display settings and i <br>
set the card as dual headed casue i still have my monitor connected to the <br>
system. For the second monitor i set the setting s at 640X480<br>
but tht didnt fix it. <br>
I tryed adding this line to my xorg.conf <br>
<br>
Section "Monitor"<br>
Identifier "Monitor0"<br>
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"<br>
ModelName "NEC MultiSync FE700"<br>
DisplaySize 330 240<br>
HorizSync 31.0 - 70.0<br>
VertRefresh 55.0 - 120.0<br>
Option "dpms"<br>
<br>
Section "Monitor"<br>
Identifier "Monitor1"<br>
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"<br>
ModelName "56in WideScreen TV"<br>
HorizSync 30.0 - 50.0<br>
VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0<br>
Option "dpms"<br>
<br>

<br><br>Usually, the "yellow" plug is an RCA plug providing a composite video<br>connection. The S-Video plug is typically black, about 3/8" round, and<br>has 4 holes in its center. Both composite and S-Video only support

<br>have and how you plan to use the TV. There are some who will say that<br>"DVI" is always the right choice, but in truth, that's not always the case.<br><br>For example, Samsung makes a line of 1080p (1920x1080) TV's (the
<br>HL-Rxxx8W DLP TV's). They accept HDMI, DVI, VGA, Component, S-Video, or<br>Composite connections (those being the ones applicable to Myth users).<br>We can immediately rule out S-Video and Composite because they provide
<br>only standard definition. HDMI is basically a DVI video connection with<br>audio connections in the same cable. Although it's possible to get<br>converters to go from DVI to HDMI, this doesn't help us since there's<br>
already a DVI connection. However, the DVI connection only supports up<br>to 1080i signals--you cannot send a progressive signal at 1920x1080 via<br>the DVI connection. Therefore, the only way to get a 1920x1080<br>progressive image to the TV is via the VGA (analog) connection. Other
<br>TV's have similar issues.<br><br>Note, also, that with most modern TV "monitors" (including CRT, PDP,<br>LCD, DLP), you have to give up on one of three<br>things: //full-resolution, 1:1 pixel mapping, or no overscan. Depending
<br>on which of the three you choose to give up on, you may need to use a<br>different connection type. Also, and more importantly, which one you<br>give up will differently affect the "quality" of different parts of the
<br>system (i.e. video, menus, etc.).<br><br>With a "real" computer monitor, you may not have to give up one of the<br>three. However, computer monitors often support some resolution other<br>than HDTV native resolutions (
i.e. 1920x1200 instead of 1920x1080), so<br>you may have to display the video with black bars (usually at the top<br>and bottom) to have a 1:1 pixel mapping for the video.<br><br>HTH,<br>Mike<br>_______________________________________________
