NVIDIA TV-Out using S-Video
 

The config looks like its set up correctly, but I can't seem to get a display on the TV using S-Video. I'm using a Geforce4 Ti 4600

Here is this config:

I'm trying that one to get 2 seperate X servers, I tried the normal way, but that didn't work either.

In the NVIDIA Read me it says yo can just have the S-Video plugged in and when you boot up it will display out the S-Video only. I tried this and still didnt get a picture, Do you think its bad hardware?

This is my old Xorg.conf that trys to span 1 X server accross both monitors:

I have a 19 inch crt and an old 32 inch tv connected to the s-video connector. This is the relevant part of the xorg.conf that I had to edit.

how are you connecting to the tv? Did you have to make a cable to go s-video (video card) to RCA (tv)? or does your tv/vcr have a s-video port. If you need to buid a cable here is some info

Your old configuration will work, but you need to change some lines. If you use the configuration below, it should work. You just need to hit CTL+ALT++ or CTL+ALT+-. If the TV output is black and white, use nvidia-settings to adjust the saturation level. A saturation level of 128 is good for starters. If you set the saturation level and you still get black and white, the chroma wire probably is open or disconnected.
