Fx 5200 Svideo out to Vizo 42" HDTV svideo in. Running Centos 5.5 32bit with Gnome


Hello I have a nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, I am running Centos 5.5 32Bit on a Dell Pentium 4.
I have a dell 15" lcd mointor hooked up to the 1 of the 2 vga output of the vid card.

I have been trying to get Video out in Gnome working on my Vizo 42 HDTV with a Svideo cable from the FX 5200 vid card to the Svideo on the vizo HDTV tv but I do not seem to be able to get it working correct.

I followed the guide on centos wiki here:

http://wiki.centos.o...Nvidia_Graphics

I installed:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.14-pkg1.run

here is the output of lspci -v

When the computer boots up the video is fine like booting in run level 3. but in run level 5 when it trys to start X.
It fails to start X.
I have to delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and then I can startx
then I can use gnome on my Dell Lcd Computer sceen but the Vizo HDTV has all different color lines and can not see anything at all.
I think I need help with my xorg.conf?
unless this video card is to old?

I have tryed nvidia-settings and also system-config-display
to make a xorg.conf but neither seem to be helpfull.
And then rebooting into run level 5 with the same results I have to delete my xorg.conf and then I can start X.

suggestions or ideas would be great.
Thank You.
Harley-D

I previously had an Nvidia FX5200, I used the legacy driver version 173.xx series. It looks like you are using the 71.xx series (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.14-pkg1.run).

Perhaps try again with the proper driver.

Also, I think that link is incomplete or not properly tested.
