<br>The Device section tells Xorg how to configure the Nvidia... so you need to tell it you are in NTSC land...<br><br>The Monitor Section isn't strictly needed in this case because the TV-OUT is automatically detected if you've got it plugged in ***when you switch on***
<br><br>Use 720x480. Why because being in NTSC land your TV is actually built to receive this type of resolution (more or less), NTSC DVD's are also in this resolution too, so you'll likely get a better picture. Certainly in PAL land this is the case (TV resolution is 720x576, using 640x480 means that the TV out on the card has to do horrible munging of the picture to get it to fit properly, it don't look right!).
<br><br>The Nvidia has a number of fixed modes that it can use for TV-OUT (for ordinary monitors you can make all sorts of things up but TVout is fixed), the modes available depend on the TV format you've set it to (NTSC, PAL-B etc), so yes the NVidia more or less autoconfigures it.

<br><br>Second in the Device section (it'll mention nvidia in there) you need too add:

Thanks.<br><br>Also, should I use 720x480 as directed in this post or 640x480 as in the other? Is the Monitor Section configuration necessary? What about the Device Section? Two different pieces of advice.
<br><br>I'm really sorry about all this thread-splitting, by the way. I still don't know how to set it up.<br></div></div><span class="ad"><br>
