[mythtv-users] TV-Out with a PNY Gforce 4 MX 440

[Markus]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting my Tv-out configured properly; I'm using Red
Hat and following Jarod's instructions (Thanks Jarod!).  I believe I have
follow his instructions and I get the new drivers 'assembled' in my kernel
(nvidia-graphics4363).  I then make the appropriate changes in my XF86Config
file and when I reboot I do not get any video signal on the TV (s-video out
to an AV switch, then RCA from Video Switch to TV) nor do I get any video on
the monitor.  I shell into box, reset original config file and I'm back up
and running.  My XF86Config file is attached and modified to the point where
I still get video signal.

When I add the follow lines to the 'Monitor' section, I get the no signal
reaction.  I also do not see the Nvidia logo:

Option     "TV" "yes"
Option     "TwinView"
Option     "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30.0-50.0"
Option     "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60.0"
Option     "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
#Option      "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
Option     "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768"
Option     "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option     "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option     "RenderAccel" "1"
Option     "TVOverScan" "0.6"



Any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Markus

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
