Hi,

I am using a NVIDIA 9400GT video card on the latest Ubuntu. I believe the video card is a DVI-I port because it has the correct pin settings - http://www.playtool.com/pages/dvicompat/sldldvi.jpg

I am using this DVI to Component adapter - http://www.amazon.com/Dvi-I-To-Compo...xp_grid_pt_1_2

The adapter is marked with Y Pb Pr above the RCA jacks. So it is analog and the vido card port is DVI-I ... all is correct ...

I am connecting to a DYNEX DX-LCD22-09 TV with HDTV component cables. The TV accepts both YCbCr and YPbPr signals. When I first boot the linux box there is no signal. Then right before it auto logs in I get a picture that is all green on the right side, black everywhere else and the TV displays it is at 1280x720 60hz. Finally the screen goes blank when the machine logs in - no signal!

I have tried all combination of the adapter settings and have looked over the component input and output cables many times to insure I have it setup correctly.

Any ideas on why this is not working?

Thanks,
waffe

I believe that card comes with a special adapter:

mine came with one, and that's what I use.

It fits in the port on the very left:

Thanks H_TeXMeX_H, that helps. What you have shown me is composite and I would rather work with component but hey its good to know there's a solution one way or another.

Actually it's most likely an error in the description, it's a component output, notice the red, green, and blue outputs.

Now that I've checked mine it seems to be made by Gigabyte, and only comes with Gigabyte branded nvidia cards, the one on the left here:
