I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's run in to this but I can't
seem to find anything in the existing posts really. I used to have
Myth hooked up to a 35" CRT and have since bought a 57" rear
projection TV. The only connection (display wise) that I have to the
Myth box is the S-Video cable from a GeForce card to the TV. When I
put the new TV in I swapped the s-vid cable and everything looked good
(little odd shape BUT clear and clean).
I tried rebooting the machine with the new 57" TV connected and the
display went south .. scan lines, shakey, horrible looking. To get the
image back I booted the machine with it plugged back into the 35" and
after x started, swapped the cables back and it looked good still. I'm
just wondering if anyone here has seen something similar to this and
how you fixed it so IF you ever did have to boot the machine, the
image wasn't crappy. I was thinking it was something in X but this
happnes right from booting so is it possible something is reporting
odd to the card or out of the cards capabilities when it's hooked up
to the big screen when it boots?
Any help is greatly appreciated!! if you need any more details or info
I'll be happy to supply. Thanks again
I'd say don't waste your time fixing it. Most likely, you don't want to
use an S-Video cable on the 57" TV because S-Video limits you to NTSC
(and NTSC is almost 52-year-old technology--it turns 52 on Dec 17).
Instead, get a more appropriate cable (VGA/DVI, depending on your TV)
and a good modeline and never look back. Assuming it's a 57" 720p TV,
set it up with 1280x720 pixels. If it's a 57" 1080p TV, set it up with
1920x1080 pixels.
