Nvidia Composite TV out on Ti4600 w/ Suse 10.1
 

Hi All,

I thought this is a software issue with my xorg.conf so I've placed this here...

I've been trying to get my tv out to work all day. I've been able to get it to come up once or twice in nvtv but I still haven't had much sucess. I am setting up a media center and currently have a monitor connected as well.

The bulk of my testing has been in the xorg.conf file, I have installed the nvidia drivers and they work fine with hardware acceleration in KDE.

I have tried setting TwinView options and going down the two independant displays paths to no avail.

With my current xorg.conf I get the following error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log;

Failed to determine the TV encoder. My xorg.conf file is attached below. If anyone could assist me with my problem I would be most grateful, my current thoughts are that I have something wrong with the modes in the conf file...

Thanks,
Brett
