 |
|
I've just upgraded my graphics card from an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 to a GeForce 6600 LE. Things work fine (well much better, obviously) on the monitor, but tv-out is broken.
Partly broken - the console works (in higher resolution, and now in colour) but whenever I start X it just goes black. Doesn't actually hang, as I can CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and get back to the console.
The device section from my xorg.conf is: | Code: | Section "Device"
BoardName "GeForce FX 5200 (0x0322)"
BusID "1:0:0"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Screen 0
VendorName "NVidia"
Option "NoLogo" "1" # removes nVidia boot logo
# TV Out Setup
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-I"
# Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "TVOutFormat" "Composite"
Option "TVOverScan" "0.6"
# Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" # Add this if you're having problems
#DKP above really messes up DVI monitor
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
EndSection |
Obviously, the BoardName is now wrong. I don't know if that is crucial to the functionality or purely cosmetic but I don't know how to find out the hex-id of my new board.
Any suggestions as to what may be wrong would be greatly appreciated. |
