<pre><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I am new to linux & myth, but at one point successfully had both functioning. In my blind attempts to get the S-video out hooked up to my TV, I changed my X config file to force S-video out. This was successful, but the HorizSync setting seems to be set wrong, as the output image seems to be smeared across/around the screen horizontally. Now when I plug my monitor into the VGA connection, it will no longer output to the monitor and I cannot see what is on the TV in order to log in and modify the config file in KDE.<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre>

<pre><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I am guessing that I have to prevent X from booting, and edit this file from outside of KDE somehow, but have no idea of how to do it (s-video works great until X loads).. basic step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated! <o:p></o:p></span></font></pre>

It would be easier if I knew which distribution you are using.<br>
<br>
For the more popular ones, go into /etc/inittab and search for
"default". If it is 5, set it to 3 (redhat-based). If it is 3 set it
for 2 (debian-based). For the others you might have to play around a
bit.<br>
<br>
Good Luck!<br>
