Hi all,
I need to connect my computer, running Gentoo of course, to my TV. I'd like to get everyone's opinion as to what graphics card I should use to get decent TV output. I live in the UK, so the card must be capable of doing PAL. Another **requirement** is that I can start X **without a monitor attached**, i.e. just the TV.
I have a Radeon 7000/VE that, after lots and lots of hacking, shows a lovely picture on the TV but X refuses to start up without a monitor attached. The S3 ProSavage8 built-in to my motherboard works, but doesn't play nice with the system, eats my RAM, and doesn't use the whole of the TV screen (I get big black borders around the edge). I'm considering getting a nVidia GeForce MX4000 as people seem to be having more luck with these, but I'm not sure about the monitor requirement. And does it work on an AGP 4X bus?
Can anybody comment at all? Maybe you guys have an idea how to force X to start without a monitor?
Many thanks, Chris
