Hi Phill,
I have a GeForce2 GTS that wont output tv. As far as I'm able to tell ASUS
connected the tvout chip in a non-standard way.
Attached is my XF86Config-4 file that works for my new GeForce FX 5200.
If that doesn't work try the nvtv utility. It helps with cards that don't use
the nvidia tvout chip.
Paul
