I currently have an EVGA nVidia based e-GeForce 7100GS video card in my
Myth box, and I'm using the S-Video out to push the TV-Out to my
Samsung 46" DLP HDTV. I've been thinking about this for a few days,
and I believe that I should be using the DVI connection from that card
to my TV. I have 2 HDMI inputs on my TV and 1 is being used to receive
signals from my Comcast Motorola STB.
<br>
<br>
I'm a little unsure how to configure my xorg.conf file to do this.
Also, I suppose that I'll have to get a DVI-to-HDMI cable. Am I
correct in this? I'm adding my current xorg.conf file contents below,
so if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

The title of the Wiki entry is a bit misleading, but check out
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ComponentOut">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ComponentOut</a> for details on how to
get this set up.

Hey Rich!<br>
<br>
I just got around to getting the DVI->HDMI cable hooked up, and I
can't get it working from within Linux. When my Myth box reboots, I
can put my TV on HDMI2 and see the boot up process. However, once the
X server starts, I get nothing. I don't see anything in my
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file that indicates any problem. I tried to follow
the link in the Wiki that you sent, as well as the following article to
no avail:

<br>
Here are the relevant sections of my xorg.conf. Any ideas on what
could be wrong? I'm actually curious as to whether or not the NTSC-M
for "TVStandard" is correct. The above FedoraForum thread references
