Nvidia TV out problem - PLEASE HELP!
 

I have a problem at hand I just can't solve on my own... I have searched the web, though it over real hard, asked the gurus at my university, tried and failed in every way - over and over again - but nothing works:( Please help!!!

The problem is as follows:

Some weeks ago I ran a dual boot (Win98SE & Fedora 2) and my Nvidia GeForce2MX-card would let me use both my monitor and my TV (cloned mode) to watch movies etc - no problems at all! But since my old harddisc was slowly dieing I recently bought a new one. On this one I installed a similar, but updated kind of dual boot (WinXP Pro & Fedora 4). I installed the latest drivers (from Nvidia) on both the partitions, but strangely enough I can't get TV out on either one. I have tried everything, but all I get is a gray screen on my TV.

According to the Nvidia "configuration-program" in windows everything apears to work fine, but that I is not so. For the Fedora 4 partition I am jusing almost identical configurations as I did for Fedora 2, which then worked fine.

When I boot from my old harddisc the TV out still works fine on both the partitions!!! At least there is nothing wrong with the cable etc then...

Some informations that may be relevant:
-on Fedora 2 I am running Gnome, while on Fedora 4 I am running KDE
-when I changed (just to test) from 800x600 (which worked fine on the old setup) to 640x480, only a rectangle on the center of the TV is gray (so it appears that it is recieving some kind of signal)

I don't use Windows much, but I really would like it to work on my Fedora-partition...

The only thing I can imagine as a slightly logical explenation is that maybe there is a problem with the new drivers or something... But I don't know... I am not an experienced user or anything - but it just make NO sense what so ever to me...

If anyone can help me - please do! It's driving me crazy!

please check it

I think my problem is a malfunctioning driver.... :(

For my Win98 partition I uninstalled the newest driver, installed an older one and everything suddently worked!

I have read so many posts and how-to's that I just can't believe that the problem can be anything other than with the driver for the Fedora partition also...

Does anybody know where to find older nvidia drivers that work for Fedora 4? I tried to install the driver I was using under Fedora2, but I had some problems while trying to install it to Fedora 4... Maybe it is not compatible or something...

If anybody has any alternative explanations than a bad driver - please let me know... As far as I can tell there is no problem with my X-configuration-stuff... Since it worked fine under Fedroa2, I mean...

Can somebody please look at my X config files? I've put a copy here...

And I still want to test with old drivers, so if you know where to find any - let me know!

My problem was the driver - and somebody else helped me out, so now it works fine!
