Everyone,
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.
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!
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:

As long as you tell your Xorg to send X out of the "Composite" output
of your card, that's where it will be output.

Apparently not, because that's what I have (see "TVOutFormat" above)
and I get nothing. I did read that link you sent me (even though I'm
on FC6 and not gentoo), but it didn't really help much. I appreciate
you sending it though. Obviously I'm missing something, but I'm not
sure what it is.<br>

Thanks,<br>
