I have compaq presario F756la with an NVidia video card. I'm using the
kmod-nvidia driver from rpmfusion, and I got stucked with trying to get
video output from my notebook to my TV through the SVGA output.
Is this something that has previously been working with Fedora + RPM Fusion?
If so, what versions worked.
I start totem (my favorite video player) and go to preferences and find
out that the options for TV output are disabled (they are in light
grey). Is there some kernel module that I'm missing? Or maybe some
configration option?
I don't have experience with totem, however, with mplayer, xine, I have
to use xrandr to manually adjust settings (note this was on an intel
vga, but I think it should be similar for nv:
xrandr --verbose
xrandr --verbose --output TV --auto
xrandr --verbose --output TV ... see other options.
I do find that at the point of logging in, if the TV is connected, then
the svideo/video mini din does get activated, and I can watch a DVD on
my TV ok.
In my area (PAL), I often need to xrandr a setting to enable PAL output,
instead of the NTSC that the chip seems to default to.
