If your tv can do svideo, try to set it fix in the xorg.conf With Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
And set your TV STandart: Example: Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" For Germany -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Drew Tomlinson Gesendet: Mittwoch, 8. Juni 2005 03:13 An: MythTV Users Betreff: [mythtv-users] Help With xorg.conf and S-Video Setup I've built my first Myth box using 0.18.1 and a Gentoo 2.6.11 kernel. Everything was working OK while connected to a regular 4:3 VGA monitor running 1024x768 res. Liking what I saw, I decided to move the system to my 38" RCA HDTV. I have a GeForce2 card. I'm using the S-Video out to one of the video inputs on my TV. Using a plain vanilla config (posted below), I get a picture that is fuzzy but readable. However after starting mythfrontend, anytime I attempt to watch either live tv or a recording, the interface appears to just "lock up". The machine still responds via ssh connections from another computer but X and icewm are frozen. Only a "kill" will free it. I have Googled for 2 days now but am no closer to understanding what I need to do to get things going. Does it make sense that X would "hose" just by switching to SVideo? Also, where can I begin to understand what options I need in my xorg.conf file to clear up the picture and stabilize X? I know SVideo will never be as clear as VGA, but I expect it to be at least as clear as the SVideo that comes out of my DirecTV box. Is that a reasonable expectation?
