 |
|
Hi,
I'm haveing a problem getting TV-out to work with my Nvidia 7600 card. I'm sure it was working some time back, and I'm sure I hadn't changed any xorg settings either. So being at a loss I'm starting to think it may have occured from doing an emerge -u world sometime.
So I have picture on both mon and TV at console, when I startx the TV flickers and goes black/blank but the picture on the monitor is ok.
Anyway here is my config, if anyone can suggest what I have done wrong or what could have gone wrong it would be much appreciated.
relevent xorg.conf bits (I can post the full conf if it will help)

Turns out it was the way I was physically connecting it to the TV, using an S-Video to composite cable where I just needed to connect the composite cable directly to the AVout plug on the breakout box.
Dhow! |
