Hi all, Its in the box, now I would appreciate some setup advice please.
lspci reports the card as a nVidia Corporation NV31 [GeForce FX 5600XT]
(rev a1)
I downloaded & installed the latest nvidia driver and found that
nvidia-xconfig produces a useless xorg.conf file. Yes I did backup the
original which works in term mode so reactivated it. The tv clones the
monitor with color in text only but goes blank with X running.
I then used the sample conf file provided, removed all optional /
duplicated sections which do not apply to TwinView and altered the specs
for my monitor etc. I have tried it with the tv set to 'RightOf' & 'Clone'
The resulting xorg.conf file works but I have 2 problems,
1. The output to tv via svideo is b/w only
2. When I shut down X using ctrl/alt/bs the monitor reverts to a
resolution of 480x360 but the text does not scale and is unreadable.
Entering startx still works.
xorg.conf probably needs tweeking, but where do I start? Color commands
somewhere?
TIA
Barry
