Post subject:  Install on EPIA had no xorg.conf need help on tvout R5E50

I did a fresh install of of R5E50 on an EPIA system and had the error message "init:id "c7" respawning too fast : disabled for 5". I checked my xorg.conf file and it didn't even exist. So, I was able to get things installed with a basic conf file i found online, but now I want to get my via driver working. I have enabled the via driver and I can get in using my LCD monitor, but I cant figure out my TV-out settings. Whenever I try to enable it, all i get is a distorted screen on my tv. Here is my current xorg.conf

I would check the hor & vert settings for the TV device. I'm in Pal-land with an EPIA and S-video, I had to alter these to get mine to work - using the commented ones. Maybe they are the PAL options, I'm not too sure.

Also you're using PC resolutions, 1024x768 etc, this shouldn't cause distortion I think but it's def not optimal, here I have 720x576. Maybe you need the equiv NTSC res.

Take a look at:

/usr/local/bin/install-unipro.sh


There are some obvious typos in there that need correction (I'm surprised no one actually caught on to this or patched it...)
