Hi,<br><br>I'm using an M11, but the xorg stuff should be pretty similar as they both use the openchrome driver. Note that the S-Video B&W problem is likely due to your TV not being set up for S-Video on the input you are using. Below is my
xorg.conf, which works pretty well on my 50Hz PAL TV:<br><br># **********************************************************************<br># Refer to the xorg.conf man page for details about the format of<br># this file.<br>

<br>to start and screens flickers: "processor spawning too fast. will try<br>again in 5min"<br>- if I leave refresh rate to 60Hz max, TV screen blanks out and x starts<br>on CRT<br><br>Passing my full xorg.conf through the mail is somehow difficult in my

<br>browsing through the forums, answering this question would sort out many<br>guys out there...<br><br>regards<br><br>--<br><br><a href="mailto:lionel.dybowski@gmail.com">lionel.dybowski@gmail.com</a><br>--------------------------
