1) Unfortunately, it seems that the card/driver
what it thinks are valid tv modes. Now I don'tknow if this is a
hardware limitation or a driver limitation. I'mhoping that it is
just the driver trying to protect the end-user andthere is an
(undocumented?) option to turn off thisvalidation. See below for my
setup and log output.OOPS - I glossed over the driver option "TVStandard"
that can be set to HD modes - I'll try setting it to HD720p instead of
NTSC-M when I get home. That is probably the culprit.
The answer is even simpler: The S-Video port can't be
used to display anything above "standard" TV
resolution, i.e. 480i. To use any of the high-def
modes, you must use VGA or component video outputs. VGA to component adapter boxes exist to enable such
connections for TVs which do not have VGA inputs.
FYI, I have 1024x768 running out of the S-Video port and it looks great. You can certainly break outside of the standard TV resolutions - just don't mess with the aspect ratio.
I tried setting the TVStandard option to HD720p or HD540p and it still complained that my modelines were "not a valid TV mode". And it also didn't apply any of the default standard resolutions. :(
Doesn't seem like anyone else here has had this problem, I got an account on the nvforum setup finally so I'll bring this there.
