I'm having trouble with getting the TV-out working on my nvidia geforce 2 mx/mx400. Its got a composite out and an SVIDEO out, and what I want to do is have whatever is displayed on the CRT also displayed on the TVOUT. I've followed the simple instructions on the ubuntu forums (I'm running ubuntu 6.10), but I don't get anything out. Basically just a black screen.
I've installed the nvidia drivers (as described here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bi...erHowto/Nvidia) and I see the splash screen when booting.
I'm guessing I want 'twinview' ? I've followed this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOut and included my xorg.conf below.
I'm new to linux so I'm not sure how to debug it. I've included some information below in case anyone can use it to give me any pointers.
Could it just be the resolution or format? I'm in Australia which I believe is PAL-B ??
Thanks.
