I just picked up a nvidia 7300le video card due to the issues w/ ATI. Here is my problem.

When I enable the: Option "connectedmonitor" "TV"
As per Verbatim9's post, Xwindows starts on TV (hdtv trhough breakou box), i can get to the mythtv page. when "watch tv" i get a black screen, it's not locked up but i can not change to another session. My only option is to reboot.

Now when I comment out (#) ConectedMonitor. Xwindows starts on my monitor (dvi). I can watch tv, but only on monitor.

I added option "twinview" so w/ connectedmonitor disabled i get a 2nd screen to the right on the tv. It shows the back ground. W/o Twinview I just get no signal on tv.

Any clue on why it works on monitor but not on TV?
And how can i make this "Just work"?
I just think *nix hates me


Thanks!

Here's a working xorg.conf (mine) it outputs at 720p to component on my Nvidia 6150+

I forgot to say that i'm at 1080i.
Does that latest version of KM use xorg now?

Yes the latest version uses xorg.

If you're on R5D1 or older here's my working XF86config-4 for 720p Component out on Nvidia... And yes, I do see that you said you're on 1080i, but since you have thoroughly read Verbatims post and you know that my config is a working config, then you will know exactly which entries to change in my config to work for you. Right?

Drop the 1080i down to 720p. I had the same problem where the screen is just blue blank. Looks like the internal player has problems with 1080i.

Dwaine

I Only have 1080i(540p i'm guessing works too). My HDTV is older.

Ethernut, Changer "TVStandard" "HD720p" to "HD1080i" and the Option "MetaModes" "1280x720" to "1920x1080" correct?

*UPDATE*

Ok I switched to "HD480p" and I get picture
But at 1080i, i still get a black screen, no pic no sound.
Is there any other options i can choose? HD540p? does that exist?

At 480 I have black borders around some channels (HD ones i guess). Is that because of the resolution difference?

NEW UPDATE

Woohoo! I think I got a little closer!

i added tvstandard "hd1080i" and metamodes 1920x1080
in nvidia-settings X Server XVideo settings, i had to uncheck
the "sync to vblank" boxes.

Also, I needed to run "nvidia-settings --load-config-only &"

w/ the HD-5500 analog I don't have sound, yet.

Next step is to get IR to work. ATM I have a IR based usb keyboard, that works. I'd rather have a regular remote.

Thanks for all your help.

Where exactly is it that you uncheck the "sync to vblank" boxes?
I don't see anything for that in the driver Options in the XF86Config-4
file.
Thanks

I believe they were talking about doing this in the nvidia-settings utility. There is also an OpenGL sync option under Setup in the GUI, I forget where exactly.

To run nvidia-settings:
- Exit the GUI until you see Tux on a couch watching Cecil & Dale on TV.
- Hit Alt-X to bring up an xterm window.
- Type "nvidia-settings" and hit Enter.
- Make your adjustments
- Save and exit.
- Hit Alt-M to bring the frontend GUI back up.
