S-Video output Setup problems

[netmatrix0]

I have the NVidia Geforce 4 MX 420 card and am using RedHat 8.0(psyche). I already updated to the latest nvidia drivers (and finally got UT2K3 running). But now I want to use my s-video output to display my desktop on my tv. can this be done? any help would be appreciated. thank you.

You need to set some variables in the XF86Config

Have you read the NVidia-readme ?!?

basically, you change the resolution and the horizontal/vertical sync lines to match to tv-screen and you add

Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
# Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"

those lines
Instead of PAL-B, you of course choose other standards as well and you change the output from COMPOSITE to s-video

Read the NVidia readme included in the NVIDIA_glx-package

(/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README)

Thanks for the info. As soon as i get my speedstream network printer working i'll get to the s-video setup.
