Well, after following Jarod's Fedora guide (excellent, btw), I've gotten<br>a rudimentary MythTV box up and running. However, I'm now at the point<br>where I want to go from my monitor out to my TV/component outs, and I'm
<br>having a heck of a time with X trying to make it work. Here's my setup:<br><br>* Fedora Core 4<br>* Gigabyte 6200-based video card, w/component-out breakout box<br>* Latest (7676) nVidia drivers<br>* Dell 2405W monitor (hooked up to its component-inputs) for testing,
<br>though eventually I want to hook it up to my projector in my media room<br></blockquote></div><snip><br>
I'm running FC3 but have the same card connected by component to an RCA HDTV.<br>
Here is the xorg.conf (in part) that I use:<br>

In 1080i I can't view content, and 720p is way overscanned, but usable.
720p is supposed to be supported by my TV, but I get a really wierd
screen - 800x600 floating in the middle of a 1920x1080 field, but three
(very narrow) frames side by side. Color is distorted too.<br>
<br>
I can record and view, but not watch tv live - but I think that is ivtv.<br>
