has anyone found any useful resources for getting the compositve out to 
work under X?  i bought an nvidia card to output mythtv to my tv, but 
i'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to make it work, and even a 
harder time finding any documentation for this.

the computer starts up fine in text mode, but no matter what ModeLine i 
define for the tv, it doesn't work.  i found some really simple looking 
informatoin on the freevo site, but it didn't work at all.  i also found 
a nvtv program that can actually get the tv output working and usable, 
but the card i'm using seems to behave diferently if the computer is 
started up without a monitor hooked up.

this shouldn't be this touigh, should it?  doen't i just need to worry 
about the right ModeLine and be off and runnign?  adjusting it as i need 
to scan/overscan correctly?  its really, really frustrating.

if someone could point me in the right direction, i would _really_ 
appreciate it.

cheers,
