Hi guys,
I have a GeForce4 MX 440
I was happy using rh7.3 with driver 1.0-4191. I had configured the tv-out, and everything worked very nice.
the configuration I had was this:
Section "Device"
# no known options
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
Option "CursorShadow" "on"
Option "NvAGP" "3"
Option "TwinView"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "null,TV"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200,null;800x600,800x600"
EndSection
Now I have installed rh9 and driver version 1.0-4349, and problems started to happen...
first, I couldn't get into graphic mode. Before anything could show up, my monitor turned like un sleep mode, and I couldn't even get to text mode with ctrl+alt+F[1|2|3|...]
So, in order to restart my computer I had to press ctrl+alt+f2 and then ctrl+alt+del and it started a (blind) proper reboot. After trying everything in the configuration file, I realized that commenting this line:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "null,TV"
fixed the "sleep mode" of my monitor, and I could get my X started. Whoa!... at finally I could get the output cloned to my TV :-)...
But... basically, it didn't work. I don't know why, but the output on my TV now looks in black and white! Colors are gone... here is my current configuration:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
Option "CursorShadow" "on"
Option "TwinView" "on"
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"
EndSection
I started to think it might be a hardware problem. So I booted up with wintendo and verifyed that the output to the TV was working perfect, so hardware is ok, but it's not working ok with rh9.
Does anyone -PLEASE- have any clue on this??
ps: Now, I can't also change the resolution with ctrl+alt+[+|-] is there a solution for this?
