Suse 10 - Creative NX Ultra Webcam/GeforceFX5200 TVOut


Got the webcam stated above as well as video card stated above. Anyone know how to get this cam to work? The video card works except for the TVOut feature. It doesn't detect it. Is it something I need to config in my XF86 or XOrg? What's the diff between the 2 anyway? I have both in /etc/X11/.

Ok well I've downloaded and installed the nVidia drivers for video. In Sax2 it only detects one display. I have a composite connection to a TV which it does not detect and I don't know how to enable it. The only display that shows is my IBM monitor.

The webcam I have no idea how to get that to work. I want to use it in Kopete. I haven't really tried anything with that.
