Hi there,
another Linux-Newb with problems, my system:
Debian (SID - but that shouldn't be the problem)
Asus GeForce 3
NVidia driver (1.0-4191, compiled from sources)
XF86-4
KDE3
I set up my XF86Config-4 according to misc. mini-how-tos I found in the net. Everything seems to be fine.
Now I run:
X -screen tvout :1 -ac & sleep 2; DISPLAY=:1 xine -pfq "$1" -fullscreen \
&& kill `ps aux | awk '/X\ -screen/ {print $2}' `
as root, replacing $1 with a movie-file.
Everything runs fine, monitor turning off, TV turning "on", movie starts playing. But only if the movie is in 4:3 aspect ratio. If I press "a" in xine (change aspect ratio) the picture is gone.
If I start a movie with 16:9 aspect ratio, I cannot see anything. Changing it to 4:3 doesn't help, because the picture gets squished.
BTW: I cannot start other programs like xeyes on screen "Screen-TV-Out" either. They won't display. Just 4:3 fullscreen-aps.
I read something about xv driver and overlay vs. blitter. I tried xvid -V vx [...] but it doesn't help. And I googled around a lot to find more about "Option videomode blitter" or something like this, but I couldn't find anything useful.
Some other hints I found were about re-installing xv driver. How do I do this using Debian? I don't know which package to reinstall. -- And I even don't know if this would be of any help for my problem...
Here are the corresponding parts of XF86CONFIG-4:
Section "Device"
Identifier "GeForce III TV-Out"
Driver "nvidia"
Screen 0
Option "CursorShadow" "on"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "tv"
EndSection
