| Post subject: | Dell Inspiron video problems |
I'm trying to get a Dell Inspiron 7000 (ATI Rage Pro LT video chip) to display the MythTV screens properly on an NTSC TV via the laptop's s-video out port. I setup KnoppMyth with the Auto-Install "TV" option to default to 800x600 and everything went fine. I can see the MythTV menus etc on the laptop's screen. However, when I boot with the S-video cable plugged into the TV I can see the Linux pengiun and all the text messages displayed on bootup fine on the TV, but as soon as it goes into the X-windows environment I get a scambled (looks scewed) display. I have tried editing The XF86Config-4 file as per the instructions but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas? |

well you will need to search for the correct options for ati tvout. the instructions for the XF86Config file are for the nvidia cards. |
