Maybe a little off-topic, but I've read and read on the nVidia forums.
One post suggested the TV could not synch to s-video. So I switched out
my 31 Toshiba (10 years old) for my son's new Samsung 27. Still does
not work.
The TV is the only monitor connection. I got MythTV working with the
monitor, then disconnected trying to get it to just work with standard
TV using s-video.
At bootup, I get sort of a vertical roll. I've tried different s-video
cables, still the same. If it was an old, old TV I would try and adjust
the vertical hold.
Anyway, once it goes into X the screen gets dark grey and nothing.
Any ideas on how to make this useful/readable while booting?
Thanks - Richard
I may be way off, but the boot up scrolling sounds like the video card
is sending out PAL insted of NTSC. I have onboard video and can
configure either PAL or NTSC in the mb bios. The default bios setting
is PAL, and with PAL, I get the scrolling you describe. The colours
are also off. No idea how to fix if a video card..
It also sounds like you may have your X settings incorrect. Jarod has
his X settings for a MX400 in his howto. You might want to take a look
at it.
