Using S-video output for a TV?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am writing because of a configuration that I have unfortunatly been unable to find on Xfree86.org's docs, or on the web as a whole...

I am running RH9 with the most current xfree86 that was packaged with it, I have a Gainward Nvidia Geforce 4 AGP 4x card with DVI and S-Video outputs, and I am trying to get my xserver to simply output my screen0 to my television which is a JVC AV-36D304 via it's s-video input.  

I have loaded Nvidia's X drivers and set up my xf86config accordingly... however, I am unsure if using the same options as defined for the ATI radeon mult-head will work for this setup. I will include my xf86config file, but I am unsure what parts of the config log to post to save on clutter, so I'll leave it off unless someone needs it to help me through this problem.

my xf86config file:
# XFree86 4 configuration created by redhat-config-xfree86

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier     "Default Layout"
Screen         "Screen0" 0 0

Section "Files"

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the 
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
#Option"Xleds""1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
#Option"XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#Option"XkbModel""pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#Option"XkbModel""microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#Option"XkbLayout""de"
# or:
#Option"XkbLayout""de"
#Option"XkbVariant""nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#Option"XkbOptions""ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#Option"XkbOptions""ctrl:nocaps"

I will appreciate any help to solve my rather unorthodox setup dilema.
