Two options...

try my Geforce4MX xorg.conf and see how you go with your Geforce2MX....

# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of
the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
        RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
        FontPath     "unix/:7100"
EndSection

Section "Module"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
#       Option  "Xleds"         "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
#       Option  "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
# or:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
#       Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
#

Or spend a few bucks on a Geforce4Mx. I get really good results TV out with
this and the new nvidia drivers give great picture.

happy to work this through with you offline if you like.

linux    ...

2mx.
> After much agro I have TV working on the VGA monitor, setup is a bit
difficult as mouse dissappears and setup fields behave strangely.
> Record and playback works OK also. Now for problems ... I expect an
avalanche of RTFM !!!!!  all I can say is that after 2 weeks of "Reading
TFM"   I have gotten no further towards getting usable PAL (Australia) TV
output from the Geforce2MX . ( wife is looking to install myth-husband)  I
have tried various changes to the xorg.conf. I get very messy TV out if i
boot without monitor but it loses the plot completely when X tries to start.
Does someone out there have an xorg.conf for Australia/geforce2mx   ?
> Also does MYTHTV have a DVD player as part of the install or do I have to
install another one??
