TV out on Geforce 440MX
Hello,
I have a problem with TV out on Geforce 440 MX running on Mandriva 2006.
I have instaled nvtv, but when when I run nvtv, response is "Fatal: No supported video card found."
I have installed nvidia driver nvidia 7676.
Can you help me to get nvtv working, please.

nvtv is for cards with tv tuners it has nothing to do with the tv out on your card. please post your xorg.conf or XF86config file.

Dude, either you or I am smoking something wicked strong.
Have you been to http://sourceforge.net/projects/nv-tv-out/ ?
Everything there is talking about getting your video card to output to tv. |

Well you've got me there but, nvtv is on nvidias site about cards with tunners . I have never heard of nv-tv-out whitch it does seem to be for this purpose, however I assure you that I am watching csi right now on my mx4000 (S-Video out to my 36" tv)with nothing but nvidias driver and mplayer.

Sweet. I've been doin a little reading, and it seems that just like you said you don't necessarily need NVTV OUT installed to get output to the tv. What I'm getting from all the NVIDIA documentation is that you just need the NVIDIA driver from the site. In SuSE land you already have 3D since the first update. it's the NV driver, not the NVIDIA tho. I've got stuff this weekend, but as soon as I get back I'll verify how well this works. |
