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

[Markus]

Ok,

With the suggestions, it gets all the way through the boot up, I see the
Nvidia screen, the Fedora splash loads all the way through, then when KDE
should load 'bam!' no signal warning from the monitor (nothing on the TV
either).  So...I feel I must be close?
Here's my latest XF86Config File..

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

# 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:
