I'd like to use TV-Out, is there a way?

magnet

I have the nVidia GeForce 4 MX 420 and I know it has TV-out capabilities. I've looked at nvtv but it does not work for me, to my knowledge. So is there something else I can do to get it working or will I forever be stuck watching movies on my monitor which isn't exactly small, but is not as big as a TV (I have no DVD player aside from the computer)?

magnet, you can use tvout on the nvidia, but you'll need to modifiy /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You'll have to use the binary nvidia drivers as well. There is a very lengthy FAQ/README that comes with nvidia that will explain how to do it...

Later,

Thanks! That was definitely a step in the right direction, I have it working perfectly now. I just modified a small section of XF86Config and it displays perfectly on my TV. Here's what I have now, in case anyone is interested.
