[mythtv-users] (OT) TV-Out on a GF4

[Justin Popa]

Anyone have any other ideas? I've tried every configuration demo I
found online for this, and I'm lost. I'm sure it's something I'm doing
wrong somewhere... driver I am using right now is back to 7174, kernel
2.6.11-1.27_FC3, GF4MX440, using s-video out. Like Fedor said, it
seems to be a driver issue, but I quite honestly lack the ability
thereafter to debug this. Thanks guys, appreciate all the help I get
from reading this list
