[mythtv-users] Pulling my hair out - NVidia TV out

[Scott Francis]

The only thing that I see that might be an issue is your Driver is set to "nv".
 
Looking at Jarod's guide I see the following:
 
 Section "Device"

Identifier  "Videocard0"
Driver      "nvidia"
VendorName  "Chaintech"
BoardName   "nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440"
Option      "RenderAccel" "1"
# TV Out Setup
Option      "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option      "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option      "TVOverScan" "0.6"

EndSection 
 
If I recall correctly the default Nvidia driver is "nv" and the new one that you need to install is "nvidia".  If you have updated your driver this too might be the issue.

Hello 

I'm trying my best to configure my xfree86Config file, and everything I try gives me pink static when I reboot with only the TV connected. Lots of people have given me lots of tips, and I appreciate all of them, but none of them have worked. 

My XF86Config file is available here:

Please take a look at it and let me know what's wrong. I am learning that there is a prevailing sense of "let the new users learn how to do it for themselves" attitude among Linux veterans. I'm trying to work within those boundaries, and I've tried to only post here when I cannot find any other options. I'm really trying not to piss anyone off with my nagging. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks,
