As root in a terminal not X:
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linu ... 0-4363.run
export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run
accept the agreement and have it install...
Once complete
/etc/init.d/gdm start
Let me know...

U always give me the updates I am slowww on, I am assuming that was the process to stop X. I was going thru the threads, had the file ready to roll but could not proceed with X in the way. THANKS BECAUSE that is where I was STUCK.
Ok - it loaded MythTV again - that's good (-: But need that one last piece to be sure it directs the X and MythTV to the TV Output. Myth loads fine on the local monitor, but all TV output stops once X then MythTV loads. All of the boot data does hit the monitor.
Ths a ton - am I missing just one param now for the graphics output to the TV?
U R DAAA MANNN!!!!!

I went back to try this again:
If you have an nForce chipset or any nVidia card, before running the command below, you may want to edit /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 and add
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" # This is only if attaching to a TV.**
But the file is not there - I am also wondering if there is an X config tool for the Nvidia driver I can launch to do this? Like on XP?

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 has to be there or you'd have issues w/ X(or does 4.X fall back to XF86Config?). At any rate here is what my XF86Config-4 looks like;

I see the file XF86Config - but its read-only and not sure if this is it, or where I would add the command for TV-Out ... Also curious if there is an X config tool for the Nvidia card.
I owe u - and if u do PayPal .. let me know. OK?

the XF86Config file has to be edited by root. You cannot do it as a user like mythtv. The tvstuff goes in the device section right under software cursor.

x
I have been using xedit (something a newb) can understand. Can u walk a newb thru the syntax - I am going to take a shot as well with what I think is the way.
I assumed it was locked due to my user restrictions, but not sure how to nail it without xedit.
Also - if you can tell me the cozy spot for the line - or again I will see what I can do.
Thx much

You need to be root to edit the file. The file you want to edit is /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. I've never used xedit, so I cannot give you a step by step.

type su
This will ask to the root password, enter it. Now you are root. Once you have finished what you need to do as root, type exit. Don't do anything as root you don't need to.

I think clone mode is when you use TwinView... Check the nVidia docs for details.

yes all the info you need for clone mode is in the other thread you posted in. I myself don't see any need for clone mode as I have no desire to put a monitor in my living room or a tv in my computer room, but to each his own I suppose.
