[mythtv-users] [ Matrox G400 TV-Out ] RGB Cable

[Bernd Müller]

Hello;

I've read much about the Matrox G400 (Max) an it's exquisite tv-out in this 
mailing-list. And some time ago i got such a card. But i'm not able until yet to 
get the tv-out work in a satisfactory way. I've tried all the specified ways how 
to connect the card (first and second head) via composite, svhs or the selfmade 
RGB cable (the simple one for tthe second head). At last i've gave up to 
configure X with directfb as it's seems to be very complicated.

But now i've read in this list about an other RGB Cable with a little circuit 
inside: http://www.sput.nl/hardware/tv-x.html

Is it possible to run the G400 with this RGB Cable at the first head?

Does the G400 provide the nearby optimal pixelclock of 14.16 or maybe the 
optimal clock of 14.76?

Is it possible to use the mentioned Modline
"736x575i" 14.16 736 760 824 904 575 580 585 625 interlace -hsync -vsync

Which X-driver i've to use? The one from matrox or the GPL one.

Will this solution provide hardware acceleration (because of using first head of 
G400) and an optimal tv-out?
