Hi,

i have configured tv-out some time ago. It worked fine, but now it 
doesn't anymore.

Normally i activate tv-out by opening a new screen with

X -screen Screen1 :1 -ac & sleep 2; DISPLAY=:1 xterm

Now the tv gaves a short flicker and the picture which appears normally 
on my tv shows up on my monitor.

The keys CTRL-ALT-F7 / F7 for switching between monitor and tv doesn't 
work too

I have tested nvtv and it worked i got the picture on my tv, but i am 
not satisfied with nvtv (seems to me that it doesn't work correct -> 
only a part of the picture is displayed) so i want do do it the other way.

Has anybody out there some experience with tv-out?

Thank you for your help!

Daniel

I have no experience with tv-out, but you should take a look at the
/var/log/Xorg.1.log file for clues.

If I had to guess, I would say that having two different Device
sections referencing the same PCI slot would be a problem, but again,
I have never tried to use the tv-out output on my systems.

Daniel,

I have a successful config at home with nvidia GeForce4 FS 5200 card. I
use it in clone configuration so this screen would be shown exactly as
it is on my TV.
Both my TV and LCD monitor have the same resolution. I get TV Out as
composite video at 1024x768 and use it to watch movies with Nvidia drivers.
Do you feel what I do is what you want to accomplish? If yes, then my
XF86Config may help you.

Let me know,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,

I use a Nvidia Geforce 3 Ti200, so i can't use Clone-Mode. But if you
send me your config file i will try to adjust it to fit my needs!

Thank you,

Daniel
