Morten I have the same problem with the blue borders on the left when viewing on a TV using the TV out on my 5200 card. I also have a scaling problem when viewing 'wide' 1920 data, in that the right edge of the picture gets pushed off the right of the TV. This does *not* happen when viewing the same data on a CRT, even at the same resolution.
I haven't managed to resolve these yet. Congratulations on getting stuff working so quickly ;-) JW On Apr 6, 2005 6:20 AM, Morten R�nseth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I yesterday received my NVidoa FX 5200 card and installed in my mythbox. > The box booted up with the "nv" driver so I had to make a quick stop > over at the nVidia wabsite for installer and instructions on how to > install the latest driver. 10 minutes later all was well :-) > Oh joy! > > After wrestling with lame ATI cards for over a month I was delighted to > see that getting TV output was a doodle.
