I'm having trouble setting up my TV Out on my nVidia 6600GT to go to<br>my 4:3 PAL tv. I'm guessing that the setup I've got in my xorg.conf<br>file is wrong, because each time I try to set it up for TV it fails to<br>load X with the error "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable
<br>configuration."<br><br>Looking at the log file, it looks like it's deciding that none of the<br>modes are valid for a TV type of PAL.<br><br>Any help or example xorg.conf files would be great. Here's my current

I have the same card and following xorg.conf works very well for me -
it outputs as close to a standard, interlaced PAL-I signal that is
achievable with the daft nvidia drivers. This results in an almost
perfect tv picture for me with no need for expensive/cruddy
deinterlacing. <br>
