tv-out, nvidia, twinview, nvtv


Alright, I will give a bunch of information and please respond with the best way to fix me, thanks.

I have a nvidia Geforce4 MX video card, with a composite out. When I attach the composite out to my tv along with the monitor in the 15 pin, The startup information is displayed on both screens, but when I get to the X log in page the tv stops showing anything. I downloaded nvtv, but I don't know how to configure it obviously because when I hit the tv on button my monitor goes blank and nothing happens on the tv, adn when I hit f3, which is tv off, the monitor won't return.

So then I found some info on twinview and here is my XF86Config file

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "HITACHI V700"
DisplaySize 330 250
HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0

Option "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"

Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX (generic)"
VideoRam 65536

Option "TwinView"

Option "MetaModes" "1024x768; 800x640, 800x640; 640x480, 640x480;"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "crt,tv"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"

EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"

EndSection


This is just the backend of the file, if you need more let me know.

I am a newbie so thanks for any help.

Sorry pal, I'm not sure on how to help you. You have read the docs on nvidia.com I assume ?
