Thanks guys, all of you.
I got it to work yesterday.
Going to nVidias website made the difference.
You have to install the nVidia driver from their website and READ THE
INSTRUCTIONs.
But actually - it should find its way into the documentation of MythTV
Thanks again

My brother has a gForce mx4000 card with TV-OUT and he would like to
use his tv as viewing screen.
But I can't get it to work.
When the tv is the only connected "monitor" (via the S-VIDEO) then at
startup I do get all the linux startup on the tv.
That part works fine - so we got the hardware correct (at least)
But when X (xorg) takes over then all we get is .... basically
nothing.
I tried some of the setups I found on the web, stating that "this
works..." - well not so here.
Have anyone here gotten TV-OUT to work on a PAL system?
I would like to see a xorg.conf for that
Thanks,
Karsten
