Making progress, TVout almost works


This is under Core 1

I have installed my GF4 MX440 AGP card
I have installed the Nvidia Drivers, I am certain they are working as I know have a big Nvidia logo before I log into KDE. Now I configured my XF86config file as below. but Here is the problem.
1) Its in Grey Tones, no color.
2) It looks like an old VCR that has the tracking set wrong. its scrolling down about 5 times per second, rather brutal.

I have the AV cable hooked up to my Panasonic HDTV, can anyone suggest where I went wrong with my settings? I am in Canada and I think I am supposed to use Pal, or is it NTSC? I can't remember.

Oops here is my xf86config.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

Ok, so I found out that in canada we use NTSC-M, so I made the change from PAL-B to NTSC-M and well now nothing shows up on the screen, this is getting weird. I know my TV is NTSC because well I can watch tv here. Any thoughts? I am oging to be playin around with this tonite.

Ok I got NTSC to display, but it is still exactly the same. Its like the tracking is off. Again this card and computer displays just fine in winxp with the nvidia detonator drivers. Maybe I'll have to post on the nvidia forum.
