<snip>Well, after following Jarod's Fedora guide (excellent, btw), I've gotten
a rudimentary MythTV box up and running. However, I'm now at the point
where I want to go from my monitor out to my TV/component outs, and I'm
having a heck of a time with X trying to make it work. Here's my setup:
* Fedora Core 4
* Gigabyte 6200-based video card, w/component-out breakout box
* Latest (7676) nVidia drivers
* Dell 2405W monitor (hooked up to its component-inputs) for testing,
though eventually I want to hook it up to my projector in my media room
I'm running FC3 but have the same card connected by component to an RCA HDTV.
Here is the xorg.conf (in part) that I use:

In 1080i I can't view content, and 720p is way overscanned, but usable. 720p is supposed to be supported by my TV, but I get a really wierd screen - 800x600 floating in the middle of a 1920x1080 field, but three (very narrow) frames side by side. Color is distorted too.
I can record and view, but not watch tv live - but I think that is ivtv.
