Twinview install problems
 
I'm trying to configure Twinview to view MythTV on my TV. I have an Nvidia GeForce FX5500 Verto from PNY Technologies with a VGA and a S-Video port. I can see the splash screen on my TV fine, even the BIOS messages are displayed, but just before the big Nvidia logo is displayed on the screen, my TV blinks and the screen goes black. I have also tried removing all resolutions above 1024x768px, which is the limit for the TV-chip according to the box. After I've edited my xorg.conf I try all available resolutions, but still no picture on the TV. I noticed I can only choose one updating frequency for each resolution. Before I could choose between 5-6 updating frequencies. I'm living in Sweden so it's PAL-B/G here.

Here's my xorg.conf:

Your metamode line looks messed up. Try this.....

Code:

  Option      "MetaModes" "1280x1024,800x600; 1152x864,800x600; 1024x768,800x600; 800x600,800x600"
