Re: [Freevo-users] nVidia problems!! XF86Config file or something else is keeping me from a working FREEVO

I had the same issue. It was because of one of the Options in the Screen_tvout800 section (I think it was TVStandard, but not sure). Anyway, remove/comment the options one-by-one and try again. You'll get it to work eventually. You can then add back the ones that don't blow up.

Subject: [Freevo-users] nVidia problems!! XF86Config file or something else is keeping me from a working FREEVO

I've got a nVidia GeForce4 MX440-SE, which is supposed to work fine w/ Freevo and TV. The driver is loaded, but whenever I start with this command:

startx -- :0 -screen Screen_tvout800 vt7 &

It comes back with (among other things):

*************************************************

(EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device TV-0
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

*************************************************

I'm running Redhat 9, and I'm using Freevo 1.3.2

PLEASE - If you know anything about this driver, etc., please lemme know what I can do to get this working!

Here's the pertinent info from my XF86Config file. There's other stuff, but I *think* this is the relevant stuff.
