So the nvidia drivers continue to get more broken the more they
release? Sounds encouraging. You may want to try some of the
"noedid" options.
I pounded on them for an hour or so with various options, but as
long as it thought it was doing TV out, it wouldn't allow any
modes larger than old school composite, but it wouldn't allow
composite sizes on an HD720p TV out. So it backed itself into a
corner and died.
How does it think it's doing tvout for HDTV? Are you using DVI?
What do you mean by "composite sizes?" The only part of composite
that's standard is the 480 vertical (and interlaced)... the
horizontal is "standard" at 352, 480, 640, 704, 720, etc. In
reality it's not defined digitally... just analog.
That's yet another reason I like analog/component. Generate a
video signal, display a signal. No smarts to get confused and get
in your way.
I used VGA to component with an Audio Authority for a year and did
like the quality.
However, my current setup is using a GeForce 6200 with a bundled
component out adapter. To get the nvidia drivers to output an HD
signal over the component output, you put this into the device
section xorg.conf :
Option "TVStandard" "HD720p"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
And put a 720p modeline into the screen section, and you've got 720p
output. I think its superior to the Audio Authority.
However, with the 8174 driver, if you put HD720p as the TVStandard,
it will not accept any screen modes at all, causing x not to launch.
So thats the problem. Works great with 7676.
