George,
You've been a great help! I wasn't sure if I should use Nvidia's drivers or
stick with the ones that came with RH8, I'll go grab them right now. Also,
I wasn't sure what options to use either, thanks!
However, I do have a separate and odd issue. I setup up the mythfrontend
and choose "Watch TV" option and it just sits there. After doing some
investigation I found that the "MythTV" app is running but ends up being
hidden by the "mythtvfronend" Now if I just run the mythTV app, it grabs
channel 3 (which currently has an 8bit Nintendo running Metroid on it). Any
ideas or solutions?
Thanks,
Tim.

I have this type of card. What doesn't work for you? I don't
have a separate monitor hooked up and occassionally, the console
driver doesn't detect the TV so I have to login blind or remotely.
Once I login and start XFree86 though, it always works. I use
nVIDIA's drivers (version 1.0-4349) and the entries in my XF86Config
are:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE" # or "SVIDEO"
EndSection
My card has a CX25871 NTSC encoder and I use "nvtv" to set up
overscanning. The default modes didn't look good but it wasn't too
hard to create a custom mode. I can send you a patch for the values
that worked for me if you're interested.
