Matrox G450 32MB, VGA-RGB, XF86Config-4


Hi

I want to use vga-rgb (scart) cable on linux. I dont know how to do it. I can make it on windows.

In windowsXP i use Radeon 9700pro and Finlux 28" (16:9) with powerstrip parametrs 720x576=720,15,144,81,576,1,3,17,14328,312

Now i need to get it work on linux (debian sarge) with Matrox G450 and the same TV (28"). I know it need to do somehow Modeline ********* but im not sure where to put it. And what parameters i need, so my TV dont get broken.

Im not going to use any other displays, only the TV. Now im using TFT-monitor, what i need to change so i can boot my computer safely, Tv connected...

Here is my XF86Config-4

Here is how i think it should be done (never tryed):
Code:
Chancing "Monitor" and "screen" sections like that?

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
        HorizSync       15-20
        VertRefresh     60
        Option          "DPMS"
        Modeline "720x576" 14,328 720 735 879 960 576 577 580 597         interlace +hsync +vsync
EndSection
..

..
Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Generic Video Card"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24

        SubSection "Display"
                 Modes        "720x576"
        EndSubsection

EndSection
