Getting TV Out to work with NVIDIA 6600GT and openSUSE 10.2


As the topic says, haha. Just trying to get this to work. It's outputting to a Samsung TV. I've poked around online but nothing has worked so far. Any hints on YaST or even just the conf file that'd be appreciated!

i'd suggest installing the Official Nvidia Drivers from their Website

Afterwhich run
nvidia-settings (found under menu or from a konsole)

it will launch a gui to enable TV Out.

TwinVeiw or seperate X

TwinView Pools the tv and Monitor as one huge screen Maximise and task bars cover both.

Seperate two almost independant screens each has its own maximise/fullscreen boundaries.

yea i had that too

Enable 3D in Yast2 > (Display?) Sax2

and mak sure the tv is switched on and the Svideo cable is connected at boot.

(autosensing)

If your video card is in good working order during boot you bios and post screen should display on the TV.
