Hi All,

My Knoppmyth box works absolutely perfectly in every respect (finally)
EXCEPT for the most important one :(

TVOUT just won't work.

To put it all in perspective.  I have a P4 1.8GHz, 512Mb RAM all in an Aopen
XC Cube with onboard sound.

I've tried both a nVidia GeForce2 MX200 as well as a nVidia MX4000 (PCI)
which both work really well in my lab using CRT / LCD screens.  As soon as I
use the TVOUT (composite on the MX200 and S-Video with a converter to
composite on the MX4000) the box boots up perfectly, but as soon as the
Frontend loads, it freezes.  If I have a keyboard plugged in, it's stone
dead and even num and caps lock doesn't turn on the light.  Without the
keybaord (using lirc) same thing happens.  The system doesn't respond to the
remote.

Unplug the TV, plug in the CRT and everything is back to normal again.

The logical thing to think of first is the XF86Config, but I'm doubtful that
the problem is there, because when the system freezes, I can see (very
clearly) the frontend in all it's beauty, but it just won't respond to any
inputs.

As an aside, while watching the boot process, I see the frontend load and
it's immediately unresponsive, however, the hard disk continues to work with
it's light flashing for about 10 seconds after everything has locked up.

Also, I have exactly the same symptoms with using either the vesa or the
"nv" drivers in my X config.

Has anybody else experienced something similar and has anyone found a
solution?  I'd really appreciate some pointers.

Thanks
Chris.
