Nvidia. Tv-out. Right portion of screen missing.


I have an Nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000 video card with an S-Video attachment to my TV. The display is really nice, much better that Windows Media Player. (I am using Xine). The problem is, the right 6 inches of the display is missing. In other words, it displays the image of the desktop or video output beyond the boudaries of the TV screen.

Does anyone know what settings I need to adjust this?

Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "Twinview" "TRUE"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-70"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768 , 800x600"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP , TV"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000"

Have you downloaded the driver from Nvidia?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-6111.html

I actually got it to work on Suse 9.1 Personal with this driver update.

Actually, the 6111 driver would not work with TV-Out at all. I had to use the previous driver.

Hm... It was the exact opposite for me. The TV-Out would work on start up but not X with the old driver.
