PAL-TV out does not work
Hello,
I am about to set up a PVR on a Via Epia ME6000 using KnoppMyth R5F27. The
board is connected to a PAL TV (Germany) via Scart plug.
I can not start X using the via driver but it works using the vesa driver.
When I boot the system, the splash screen is displayed clearly but when it
comes to X the TV flashes a few times and stays dark then (black green). Even
switching to text console (Alt+F2) does not work. I can only control the system
using ssh.
I had been searching with Google and I tried many examples of xorg.conf but
none of them worked. I found hints, that there should be something wrong with
the ModeLines in xorg.conf , but I am not an X expert to know what to do.
Here are some lines of Xorg.0.log:
