Re: [mythtv-users] Modeline question

The "generic" approach to getting tv out cards to work is usually 800x 600 or 640x480 resolution with 24bpp and 60 hz refresh rate. You then connect the svideo card to your tv and remove any monitor connections and reboot your pc. With any luck the bios display will show up on the tv and later on X will also work when you type startx or however you do it on your system.

It gets more complicated if you want to have a monitor connected as well. You may need the video card companies drivers. Also while this usually works, your luck may vary.
