Hi all:
As far as I understood, dropping in a new video card replacement was supposed to be
fairly straightforward. So I put in a shiny new Geforce 6600GT card. Unfortunately, it was
anything but straightforward.
1. Once in X, nvtv refused to run. Even as root. So I tried running it from a Bash shell window.
Code: Fatal: No supported video card found.
Hmmm...is a 6600 series card really not supported by nvtv? Is it too new or something?
Is there a newer version of nvtv than the one which came with R5A12?
2. So I tried running "yanc", (Yet Another Nvidia Configurator). It's a very nice Gui-based tool.
I runs, but most screens are greyed out. These are screen with functions that ARE supported
by this new card. It recognizes the card, at least in terms of showing its model number.
Yanc yielded grey screens with my old Quadro2 Pro, and now it doesn't work properly with
this brand new card. AAAAH!
3. Now I notice that I can't move Bash shells around the screen while TV is playing,
as it breaks up the sound and video, albeit briefly.
4. There are also lines running through some video. I thought XvMC was supposed to
fix that. Yeah, yeah, I know, XvMC doesn't work properly. But I've read several accounts
of people who are reporting excellent quality video with XvMC in use.
Other than turning off XvMC, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

you don't need nvtv on anything newer than a gf3 you can control overscan from XF86Config-4 and everything else from nvidia-settings. The older cards couldn't use the overscan settings from the config file which is the main reason for using nvtv.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm sure that's true, but I have no way of testing different video modes
before trying them in the XF86Config-4 file . nvtv made it easy, at least with my old card
and some work to test different settings.
I also still don't really understand the hard coded settings, in spite of having read
quite a bit.
Am I supposed to be able to set resolutions from within nvidia-settings? Cause if I am,
I can't see where. Perhaps it's time for me to just try putting my settings in the XF86Config-4 file,
like you suggest. I can always figure out nvtv and yanc later. Would you help me with
my XF86Config-4 file?
I'd like to use 1024x768 resolution on my monitor, 720x480 interlaced on my TV.
This is what I have so far:
Code: # TV-OUT Setup
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, TV"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600; 800x600, 640x480
Option "MetaModes" "640x480, null; null, 640x480"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
# Option "TVOverScan" (Don't know how much I need yet)
How do I modify this/add to this to get what I want?

well what you are looking for is the meta modes. the ones you have don't match what you said you wanted. also you'll probably want to swap the order of tv and crt. Because only the primary display has an xv which is the only way video will work properly. You probably want to search the forums for twinview or look at the nvidia readme files.
To answer another question no you can't change the resolution with nvidia-settings.

BTW - When I was looking at PCI-e videoa cards there were a bunch which didn't have any RAM of their own and had to steal it (and bus bandwidth) from the main system memory. This is what the MoBo video in an Nforce2 IGP did too but it may have been tuned differently...
OBTW - Look at my old twinview setups for the Shuttle over in Tier 2 for more dual head clues.

Okay, so I did some more reading, and hacked at this for over 5 hours. I'm just not getting it. I appreciate the help, but RTFM suggestions are really not helping. I RTFM'ed. I copied tjc's post almost exactly, and still no video out.
I tried forcing both composite and SVIDEO. No picture on the TV.
I tried different metamodes. Still no TV picture. What's more, X is now limiting itself to VGA resolution on the monitor. I just am not getting it. Can someone PLEASE explain what it is I need to do to get the resolutions I want on the CRT and on the TV? I've done my homework, now I need help.

I'm wondering now whether my problem is confusing the "SecondMonitor" settings. Now that I've switched the display order to "TV, CRT", does "SecondMonitor" still refer to the TV, or does it refer to the CRT now?
Is 720x480 even a valid mode for my monitor, considering it wasn't probed by DDC as a mode?
God I hope they update nvtv or yanc soon. To me, this is what GUIs were invented for. I seriously hope none of the complete newbies have to do this.
Thanks guys

well here's the deal most of us have never done this as we really don't care to have a monitor hanging around in our living rooms or see no need to have a tv in our computer rooms. pick one or the other and things will be much easier on you. If nvtv allowed all of this extremely advanced config easily it is truly still a valuable tool.

Seems like I've got your back up. Sorry, that was not my intention. I'm just very
frustrated with having to try to do these things by hand. You've been more than
generous in your help for me.
From what I hear over on nvnews.net, nvidia will be including similar functionality
in the nvidia-settings control panel for Linux. But until then, I'm still hoping to get this to work.

no I'm not upset or anything just trying to explain why help for this setup is so difficult to come by. There have been a few threads about it, but contrary to what most people think it really is much easier to skip the monitor all together .

Good, I'm glad. Point is well noted. Heck, if I could get a picture on the TV again, I'd gladly forego the monitor. My monitor is 15" and therefore way too small for everyday viewing. (We won't even bring up that the curvature of the screen is like Pamela Anderson in a...oh ok, I'm exaggerating.

Quote: I copied tjc's post almost exactly,
That probably won't help much with different resolutions since it was a "clone" setup. The idea was more to see what the options looked like.
Have you looked at your /var/log/XFree86.0.log output to see if you ended up with any good modelines or obvious errors?

Yes, and here are the relevant parts.  I'm sure I've configured something wrong, because it won't seem to
accept any normal screen resolutions on the monitor. I'm also wondering what the
"Bad V_BIOS checksum" menas. I did a Google, and couldn't seem to come up with
any common denominator-everyone seemed to get it for different reasons. Now I'm
all of a sudden getting a TV picture outside of X, so at least we know the vidcard is probably OK.
Thanks again for your infinite patience. (Wish I could same the same about myself at the moment.)

Have you looked at your /var/log/XFree86.0.log output to see if you ended up with any good modelines or obvious errors?

I think that for a non-cloned display you should probably have two screen definittions to get the different resolutions... I only see one in your posted XF86Config-4... E.g. in addition to:
Code: Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0" You should also have: Code: Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor1"

Hey tjc:
Thanks for that. I've done a bit of reading, but I still don't really understand the difference between a cloned display and two screen definitions. Could you please explain?
Oh, and what should I make of the
