I use the S-Video output connection, and struggle to get the cable in properly at times, ending up with a black and white display. But it does work fine, I can even play back dvd's using xine with -V xxmc and using hardware accelleration (about 15% cpu on my SP13000)

I use Fedora Core 6 and I got the extra OpenChrome drivers for my distro, there are a whole load of them which can be found here:

http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Collection+of+contributed+binary+packages

I use a sony widescreen TV (28 inch). I have attached my XOrg config file in case that is helpful.

It did take quite a lot of trawing through google to find out the correct settings!

Hi,

I've got freevo working on a VIA Epia Mini-ITX.
I'm trying to connect it my TV (UK PAL) using the TV-Out (I think the
board has a VT1621 controller).
The console window appears ok on the TV, but I can't get X-windows
working.  When I start X, it does appear (using 800x600 or 640x480 VGA
resolutions) on the screen but flickers and rolls.

I've all sorts of variants in the XF86Config-4 file but cant get
anything to appear anywhere near stable.  Do I need a
special driver for TV-Out, or does anyone know where I can get a
suitable XF86Config-4 file?

Thanks!
Sam
