I'm working on building a Linux MythTv box and I finally got the S-Video out working to my TV. Unfortunately, I can't read a single word on the screen on either of my 2 TVs. The image is pretty stable and the colors are close to correct, but it's absolutely fuzzy.
I did a VNC shared desktop to log into the fuzzy machine, and I'm running nvidia-settings to try and tweak, but nothing helps.
I have a PCI GeForce MX 4000 running on Mandriva 2600, nvidia version 1.0-7676
My xorg.conf is pretty simple:
Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corp."
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic)"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:7:0"
Option "DPMS"
# COMMENT THESE OUT IF USING REGULAR MONITOR
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
#Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
EndSection
I am new to the game and learning as I go, so please be gentle...
I have read the nvidia README files and there are dozens of options I simply don't understand. What sort of of options are likely candidates? Where can I learn more about these settings?
Thanks,
Charlie
