[mythtv-users] TV Out problems using S-Video to Composite Adapter

[Kyle Sexton]

I am having problems with X11 displaying properly to my television and
I'm wondering if the culprit could be that I'm converting from S-Video
on the card to Composite on my television.  The television itself is
an old 24 inch TV.  The output card I'm using is an NVidia GeForce4MX
4000 w/ 128M.  Has anyone had any luck doing this type of conversion?
I've tried just about every output option I could find in my
XF86Config, including the TVOutFormat as both SVIDEO and COMPOSITE.
The display that I do get is in color, and has ghosting lines next to
dialog boxes.  That's what I can see when it's not out of sync and
jumping everywhere.  So I guess my question is, do I need to either
downgrade to a card w/ composite outs, or upgrade to a TV w/ SVideo in
to get this to work?  Or are there other troubleshooting steps I need
to try?

Slightly OT:  Is there a list of terms for problems so that I can
describe what I am seeing better?

Thanks,
Kyle

CMedia Sound (I think, haven't had any problems w/ this)
