We used the Ultimate XP so that we could use the living room TV as a monitor, so that we could watch MythTV in the living room. The Ultimate XP was having a problem where after I logged into X the video would go all screwy; it was all static-y and the top half of the video output would appear at the top half of the screen and again at the bottom half. I dragged a real monitor in there and attached it to the end of the external monitor plug on the component and everything displayed normally on the monitor, but still screwy on the TV. I bought a new component and it's doing the same thing. But it only does it in X. This setup worked fine until about a month ago. I'm completely at a loss as to how to fix this. Here's my search for errors in /etc/Xorg.0.log: carter log # grep EE Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [ 42.372] (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER Does anyone have any idea of what's going on? It only happens in X; it's fine until X loads... -Michael Sullivan-
