Weird problem with TV-OUT (+)

[digital_boy]

With 3123 drivers all works fine, with 4xxx i see only blank screen on TV. No error messages in output.
config:

Section "Device"
Identifier "DefCard"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
Option "TwinView"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "20-40"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, TV"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,640x480; 1024x768,640x480; 800x600,640x480; 640x480,640x480"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVStandart" "PAL-G"

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0

Composite TV-OUT

Maybe problem is in TV-OUT controller? I don't know exactly what controller is, but it is embedded, and Windoze not working with it too, with any drivers.
And ones again:
It's working with 3123 , but with 4xxx it can't, and it's not working in windoze with any driver.

Try using

Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"

If the encoder dosent get the right vid mode it will display a black screen.

This about TV-OUT controller.

Maybe someone who have same video card, gives me his config file? (for 4xxx drivers)

Inno3D Tornado Geforce4 MX420 64MB SDR DRAM

Ok i try!

30-50 have the same effect.

XF86Config is the same!

up!
Sorry! But i need solution for this problem!

I have the same problem with my NV17 card (GeForce 4MX), these come with an own TV chip made by nvidia. Until 3123 the TV out works perfectly, then I'm just getting a black screen too.

I got the same problem with the WINDOWS drivers, it is only working with some older dirivers, so I filed a bug for it. You should do that too, so it gets fixed.

Until now we have to stick with the 3123 drivers.

[digital_boy]

agree!

Where i can report this?
