Well, after following Jarod's Fedora guide (excellent, btw), I've
gotten
a rudimentary MythTV box up and running. However, I'm now at the point
where I want to go from my monitor out to my TV/component outs,
and I'm
having a heck of a time with X trying to make it work. Here's my
setup:
* Fedora Core 4
* Gigabyte 6200-based video card, w/component-out breakout box
* Latest (7676) nVidia drivers
* Dell 2405W monitor (hooked up to its component-inputs) for testing,
though eventually I want to hook it up to my projector in my media
room

I'm running FC3 but have the same card connected by component to an
RCA HDTV.
Here is the xorg.conf (in part) that I use:

In 1080i I can't view content, and 720p is way overscanned, but
usable. 720p is supposed to be supported by my TV, but I get a really
wierd screen - 800x600 floating in the middle of a 1920x1080 field,
but three (very narrow) frames side by side. Color is distorted too.
I can record and view, but not watch tv live - but I think that is ivtv.

Thom:
It's definitely a step in the right direction! I copied your device
settings, and I'm getting a picture through the component outputs! It's
still quite a bit overscanned (I'd say I lose about 50px or so on the
top, bottom and sides), but at least I have a picture now. I assume I'll
have to tweek the modeline settings further to get rid/reduce the overscan?
