K, got it, thanks.
I tried compiling it, but it needs the pci library, which I cannot find.
I was able to get it via urpmi (contrib), but it is version 0.4.3. When
I select "TV on", my screen goes black and I have to do a power down,
the machine will simply not respond.
By output mode, do you mean PAL, etc.?
One funny thing, when I run yanc, I select:
enable Twinview (duh)
first monitor automatic
second monitor TV
TV out format S-Video
TV Standard NTSC
Then I reboot as it suggests, but when I run yanc again, the settings
look like they have returned to default, though my XF86Config looks like
it has been altered a *bit*:
Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
VendorName "NVidia"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic)"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "DPMS"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "CursorShadow" "1"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
Option "DigitalVibrance" "0"
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "MetaModes" "[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "device1"
Monitor "monitor1"
DefaultColorDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
In nvtv, I select NTSC for "Mode", Setting is "Dualview", Config
Connecor is "S-VHS", but in Heads, TV does not appear to be available,
only "Monitor" for both heads, tho in Ports "Monitor" and "TV" are shown
as selected.
Thanks for the assistance!
oops! ok, no need to reboot, F2 will bring back my X display properly,
heh, whew!
