Config TV out on a geforce 3

InsaneBob · 04-09-2003, 12:18 PM

I have read over the readme file on the nvidia site but i still have a few questions. How do i change the XF86Config file so that i can switch between my monitor and tv? Also where can i find the appropriate HorizSync VertRefresh values for my tv?

dorian33 · 04-09-2003, 02:36 PM

here is a part of my XF86Config-4 file responsible for TV output:

Section "Device"
Option "TwinView"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, TV"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"

But how do you go about switching from your monitor to your tv? Lets say i wanted to watch a movie using xine on my tv. What would i have to press or do to switch the display over?

dorian33 · 04-09-2003, 04:46 PM

Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone" - it means all seen on the monitor is displayed on TV

InsaneBob · 04-09-2003, 05:47 PM

Do you have a geforce 3 or 4 because i though the geforce 3 could only display either the monitor or tv but not both?

InsaneBob · 04-09-2003, 09:25 PM

I just figured out that i dont have twin view support on my card. So how can i setup my Xfree86 to switch between the two?

dorian33 · 04-10-2003, 01:34 AM

on one machine (this was the one with presented XF86Config-4) I've got GForce 2 MX, on the second one I've got GForce 4 so I do not believe GForce 3 could not have twin view option
are you sure that nvidia module is running?
do you have a proper cable between compuer and TV?

InsaneBob · 04-10-2003, 02:03 AM

I know this is gonna sound weird but i did some reading and for some reason they skipped twin view out of geforce3. Go figure.

Here is what i doing now:
I made two files XF86Config.Monitor and XF86Config.TV and the way i switch between them is by linking XF86Config to either one and then using "init 3" then "init 5" to restart X. It works fine for the monitor but when i try to switch to tv i get that blue screen telling you something is wrong with starting X.
Here is what i put inito XF86Config.TV:

send the /var/log/XFree86.0.log
I am not sure but it looks like you are using standard distro driver for nvidia against required manufacturer's one which usually need to be installed on your own

Wooooow! But everything looks ok.
Is it a log generated when you got "the blue screen" you wrote about?
My suggestion is to use my configuration at the beggining and setup twinview first. And next try to do changes to get 'TV' configuration.

InsaneBob · 04-10-2003, 08:13 PM

That log was actually from starting x with my monitor but i think i figured out the problem. I didn't have a 'SubSection "Display"' in my "Screen" section in the file XF86Config.TV. So to switch from my monitor to my tv i link XF86Config to XF86Config.TV then go into runlevel 3 then back into runlevel 5. The display switches over to the tv with no problems but when i try to go back to the monitor thats when things screw up. So i link XF86Config to XF86Config.Monitor then i try to go into runlevel 3. My monitor comes out of standby with a blank screen and my tv has a bunch of vertical lines on it. Any clues to whats wrong?
Here is my new XF86Config.TV file:

No ideas then?

Sorry, no idea. I think you should do the display tests in clone mode (CRT+TV) and next try to use only one display.
