| Post subject: | can't read nvidia-settings on TV out |
I'm trying to adjust nvidia-settings while using tvout (composite rca connector) on an FX5200. The problem is that the gui interface is just too small and blurry on the tv screen. If I ssh in from a different computer and execute nvidia-settings I get the error: Code: The application 'nvidia-settings' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. If I su then run it I get Code: Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server
Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted (nvidia-settings:11688): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: If i disconnect the TV and connect a vga monitor and restart x, then I get the display on the monitor and I can read the nvidia-settings gui but the nvidia driver knows that a monitor is now connected and not a tv and the setting options are all different. How do I get to set the settings for TVout and still be able to read them? |

vnc into the box then back out of mythtv to the couch scene. Right click and open up an xterm. |

Thanks mythedoff! I didn't know what VNC was, but searching the forums returned tjc's Hints page and from there it was a piece of cake! Works slick! |
