Probably dozens of these threads but I couldn't find one that would help me.

My problem is that I can't get xorg to work.

Here's a bit about my situation. My computer will be a VDR box under my TV. It has Asus A8N-VM CSM with IGP, GF 6150 that I want to use for tv-out. My TV is a generic 50Hz Philips 28", I really don't have any more information available on the TV (hsync and vrefresh). The box is connected to the TV with an s-video cable and a scart adapter.

Ok, so I did "X -configure" and after a bit of finding out about stuff, I've edited the file a bit.

Here's my /root/xorg.conf.new
Code:

It was a bit different at one point, but it was going nowhere so I went back and only made changes I felt sure about.

Now, if I run "X -config /root/xorg.conf.new", it stops on "no screens found". Here's some log about it.

Ok, I modified xorg.conf like this:

Code:

        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     4
                Modes "720x576"
        EndSubSection


to each SubSection "Display". 720x576 should be perfect from what I've read.

Nothing changed :(

I thought if the sync values were off but I don't think amd64 has an easy way to check em (no ddcxinfo-knoppix). Booting it to knoppix is a little hard since I don't have a CD drive in it.

One more thing. I don't have a keyboard or a mouse on this computer. Is my conf fine like that or do I need to express it in the confs for xorg to work?

Doesn't the use of a TV-out imply that you use 1024x768 which would be scaled down? Ths way you can get the illusion of highres....
Try to get it working the normal way first. Then work to the TV-out. From what I saw, its hard....
If you want to connect your tv to a few pins of your vga card, you might be wanna look at svga (Reaching in the dark here).

I've looked at the possibilities of getting RGB output via the VGA connector but that's only feasible with, if even with them.

Getting a normal monitor working feels a little redundant since I have no use for it and I won't be getting any benefit from testing it.

About the resolution.. I haven't seen anything definite on how it should be done. But on some discussions on it, there was notions that the less it's fiddled with on its way from origin to the actual screen, the better. That in mind, I decided to just use the resolution the TV will use no matter what.

Ok, I changed dri -> glx and nv -> nvidia. Thought that would be the safer way but guess it's better to do it this way to begin with.

One possibility has creeped into my mind: What if my tv-out isn't working? I mean it's a separate module, could be that it's broken. Is there a way I can see if it's there?

The reason I thought this is that

Code:
glxinfo


returns

Code:
Error: unable to open display (null)


With the driver change, running X -config now hangs on:
Code:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.


But my first priority would be to figure out whether my tv-out is there.

Hi there. I have read this thread and I believe you are going about this the wrong way. You need to get your card working normally first, and then afterwards you can tackle the problem of enabling TV out.

Trying to do both at once will make things more complicated and more difficult to troubleshoot. Hope that helps.

Well, the thing is I'm not trying to do it normally at all. I can't really see a reason to drag the computer over to my monitor, get it working, drag it back to the tv and try to get it working. Or that help verifying that some of the settings are correct?

Its only for the begin time. Not every time you start-up your box. Alway start at the basics first to get it starting. After that it's easier to verify why tv-out is not working right away... Little steps Secretz... one step at the time. That goes a lot faster than working in the dark for a week ;)

Ok, guess that could verify parts of the config. I'll do it later today. :)

But is there a way to verify whether the system recognizes my s-video port? Like dmesg or lspci?

From what I can estimate from your log, the card is not found... start there atm. Then look for the tv-out.
Check with you kernel that the nvidia card is seen (should show up in dmesg).

Heh, guess what?

After getting my display to the box and starting to hook it up, I noticed the scart adapter. It has a switch with "in" and "out" position. I suddenly recalled a mental note self about it. It is now set correctly and I get some kind of picture to the TV :)

Thanks for the help. This is solved.
