Thumbs down Yet, another TV-Out question :(


You guys probably started to get tired of TV-out question ... there were so many in this forum and none seems to help my problem .
I'm trying to get my Geforce 4 MX 440 TV-Out to work. All cables and everything works fine under windows. I've read all the long, long Nvidia pdf doc and still could not get it to work. I also have the following XF86 in my etc/X11 folder and I'm not sure which one to change :S

XF86Config
XF86Config-4
XF86Config-4.old
XF86Config.old


The first and the second has totally different configurations. Nvidia says that I've to change "Section" Device driver from

"nv"

to

"nvidia"

Making it at "XF86Config-4", makes me unable to startX..

If anyone knows a easier step for me to proceed would be great. If you have this video card working,I would really love if you could paste your configuration here for me to compare where I'm doing wrong, if it's not asking too much .
Nvidia forum's ain't good either. Been there .

Thanks a lot in advance guys.

P.S: I've downloaded and installed Nvidia's drivers from here:
http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=li..._ia32_1.0-4363

The installation went fine, but I'm not sure if it really works. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with default kernel here.

P.S2: I can paste my xf86config here if you need it, just tell me which one is the right one... otherwise it's gona be a really long message

Thanks once again in advance
