<TITLE>Why won't this Xorg.Conf load?</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I'd been running MythTV .19 of FC2 for ages but had to bite the bullet and upgrade to .20.2 in order to transition to the new television programming listing service.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Since I was dropping a new hard drive into the same system FC2 was running on and installing FC6 from scratch, I thought I'd try to be clever and simply take the Xorg.conf from the old HD and copy it to /etc/X11 on the new FC6 install and I'd be all set.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">With the xorg.conf transplanted from the FC2 install to the FC6, I reboot, the OS loads and I get a friendly dos screen telling me the Xserver won't load (with no information as to why), so obviously I'm not as smart as I thought :-)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Can anyone tell me why the following Xorg.Conf doesn't like my "new" system?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers under FC6 on an Nvidia FX5200 and I would like to view the output from the card on my tv via the cards SVIDEO port.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I know the fx5200 card still works as reconnecting the old FC2 hd and rebooting loads everything as expected.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Here's the Xorg.conf:</FONT>
