Hi,

I'm using twinview and the output is cloned to my TV. But the output in the TV now is in black and white. When I was using RedHat7.3, kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x and driver version 4191 it was working perfect in color, but now with redhat-9, kernel 2.4.20-9 and driver 4349 it's grayscaled :-(

It's not a hardware problem, because it works fine with win2k. It should be configuration... but I'm using almost the same configuration from my redhat7.3 where it worked fine.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
Option "CursorShadow" "on"
Option "TwinView" "on"
Option "NvAGP" "3"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
# Option "ConnectedMonitor" "NULL,TV"
# Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,TV"
# Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200;NULL , 800x600;800x600"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600"


Model: GeForce4 MX 440
Video BIOS: 04.17.00.45.00

I've tried installing kernel 2.4.20 compiled by myself, and installing driver 4191. But it remained B/W. Could it be xfree86 version??

_Please_ help!

well.... the solution was to comment this line:
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"

with Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" I get black and white. Without that line, I get normal colors.

Now the only problem is that ctrl+alt+[+|-] doesn't work to switch resolutions.
