fred_the_fish Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I have an Asus Ti4200 (clocked by nice mr Asus to 46), with a tv out. I have a scart adapter on my tv. I have required cables between them. In M$ Windows, the Asus drivers will enable me to select TV out, in Linux, I don't appear to be able to? Any ideas on what I need to do? - have tried "adding" as second monitor to X11org.conf (or whatever its caleld :P), but that just crashes X (well it would wouldn't it...), and I can't see anything else obvious for how to do it.

devries Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Is it an ATI or NVidia card that comes with your laptop? If nvidia use: http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/nv-online/ to generate the code for your xorg.conf Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_the_fish Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 ti4200 --> therefore NVidia (Geforce...) Do I need to have nvidia drivers too, or will the normal glx software ones work ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 You need the nvidia driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 the nv driver allegedly supports tv-out, but I've never had any success. Using the nvidia driver works perfectly, however. I don't know how good the above tool is - if it works, great, if not, just read the NVIDIA documentation *carefully* and follow it to the letter and you'll be fine.
