| Post subject: | Config X for SVideo TV-out && Monitor - Australia |
Hi, I've installed Knoppmyth R5C7 many times in the last week, without getting everything working, and I really need some help because I don't know how to configure X I am using the onboard NVidia graphics card on my Shuttle XPC, connected to a CRT TV. It does TV-out on the SVideo port fine for text mode, but when Knoppmyth starts Xwindows, I get a big black screen on the TV (the monitor is fine). I have both the TV and monitor plugged in to the PC so i can see what both are doing. I have tried changing the XF86 config file, replacing NTSC-M with PAL-B and trying to change settings, but nothing works. Reading the forums, I think I have to change the resolution of X down from 1024x768 to 800x600 or just 640x480, but I don't know how to do this. and make it work Can someone PLEASE post or e-mail or point me to the correct X config file that allows me to use both Svideo out with the regular VGA out ? I would greatly appreciate it. Regards, Michael |

I have sent you a copy of my xf86config-4 file. It is essentially the one that knoppmyth installs for you if you install using the "tv" option. The only changes I make are to select PAL-B TV standard and to add a modeline for 720x576 50 Hz. |

Thanks for posting the config file. I really appreciate it. Suddenly my Tuner card is not being detected... so I'm re-installing R5C7 again. After I do that, and then install Firefox, I will replace the default config file with the yours. I will post my success story - hopefully within an hour. Regards, Michael |

I do all of my installs without a monitor connected (only using the svideo). I always select "tv" at the first prompt when you put the knoppmyth cd in. You may find that if you do it this way, the svideo will work automatically. |
