To (properly) adjust text size, tell X how big your screen is...but that is
a trick question. You are usually tell X how big the screen is when you are
1 foot away...you are 20 feet away! Anyway, I didn't do the calculations, I
just hacked. Here are a bunch of screen sizes for 4:3, pick on that looks
good to you:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TVOut"
HorizSync 30-50
# HorizSync 31.5
VertRefresh 60
Option "DPMS" "0"
# Little Text
# DisplaySize 400 300
# DisplaySize 360 270
# DisplaySize 320 240
# DisplaySize 280 210
# DisplaySize 240 180
DisplaySize 200 150
# DisplaySize 160 120
# DisplaySize 120 90
# DisplaySize 80 60
# DisplaySize 40 30
# Big Text
EndSection

You are telling X the dimensions in mm of your screen. I guess my Screen
"looks" 200mm by 150mm from my couch. I guess you could hold a ruler about
a foot from your face and measure the TV from your chair and get something
similar.

Hi Mythtv users
Got a problem with my GF4MX card, i can not get SVIDEO to work with
it. Composite works fine. I also got the feeling, that the resolution
is only 640x480, everything looks a little bit pressed together.
I am using Ubuntu with nvidia drivers; how can I check which version?
Does it matter?
Here is the device and screen part of my xorg.conf:

Any ideas anyone? Thanks!
Try turning off GLX. Comment out the "Load GLX" line in the modules
section. It worked for me on my debian system. I never figured out why,
but its worth a shot.
I don't have a composite out on my card, so I don't know if your problem
is the same. I was finding that whenever I tried to use the SVideo out, X
would crash with a signal 11 until I disabled the GLX module.
Let me know if it works. It would be nice to know that somebody else on
earth was having the same problem as me.
Mark
it used to be that the nvidia instructions dictated to comment out GLX. I
assume that is still the case.
BTW: Do you have two outputs on the card: an S-Video and a composite?
Kinda strange since they are basically the same thing.
