HOWTO: NVIDIA TV-OUT for Newbies

[tseliot]

This guide works on Ubuntu Breezy and Ubuntu Dapper. Now it works also with driver 8762

NOTE: this guide has been translated into German by cfBuba:
http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/thread.php?threadid=13096

This guide is inspired to Promethe's, who I really want to thank because I have managed to get my TV-OUT to work thanks to his guide: HOWTO: TV-out in Hoary (nVidia?) (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=23628&highlight=Tv-out)

My guide is aimed at newbies who want to enable the TV-OUT port of their Nvidia graphic card. It works ONLY if you have a Nvidia card and it requires the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
If you need a guide to the installation of the Nvidia drivers your can try mine:

If you have problems with the resolution of your main Monitor: HOWTO: change resolution/refresh rate in Xorg (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973&highlight=resolution)


Make a backup of your xorg.conf
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
.
Edit your xorg.conf
If you use GNOME
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
OR if you use KDE
sudo kedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
OR (this will work on every graphical interface)
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Get to the “Monitor” section and change the name (i.e. the identifier) of your current monitor to “Monitor[0]” and make it look like the following example:

Before:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "AL1715"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
After:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[0]" #CRT
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 31.5-80
VertRefresh 56.3-75
EndSection

In my case the monitor had been detected by Ubuntu as "AL1715" therefore no refresh parameters were set (because that name corresponded to a particular profile)
If your monitor already has the its HorizSync and VertRefresh leave them as they are.
If it doesn't have them then you will have to put them manually as in the previous example (you can find the frequencies of vertical and horizontal refresh for your monitor in its manual or on the internet, in the website of its manufacturer)

Now you have to add your TV as the second monitor. You have to add the following lines under the section of the 1st monitor.

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[1]" #TV
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60
EndSection

If you wish, you can change the HorizSync and VertRefresh, but those values should work fine on most new TVs.

Get to the "Device" section.
Now you have to change the name (i.e. the identifier) of your primary device (i.e. your graphic card) to "Device[0]" and add the parameter “screen 0” as in the (2nd) example:
Before:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

After:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
screen 0
EndSection

Now you have to add the TV-OUT as a device below your Device[0] and add all the options listed below. Make it look EXACTLY like this example:

Section "Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[1]"
Screen 1
Option "TVOutFormat" "Composite" #or SVIDEO etc
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G" #or NTSC etc
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[1]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0" #adjust using 'lspci' or cat /proc/pci
EndSection

You might want to change 2 things in the example above:
1)You can change "Composite" to “SVIDEO” (according to the type of video cable you use)
2)You can change your TVstandard from “PAL-G” to “NTSC-M” or "NTSC-J" according to your tv.

If you did everything correctly you should have two Section “Device” like in the example below:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
screen 0
EndSection

Section "Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[1]"
Screen 1
Option "TVOutFormat" "Composite" #or SVIDEO etc
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G" #or NTSC-M etc
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[1]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0" #adjust using 'lspci' or cat /proc/pci
EndSection


Get to the “Screen” section and change Identifier, Monitor and Screen like in the (2nd) example below:

Before:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
Monitor "AL1715"
etc.

After:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Device "Device[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"

[Of course the Screen section is longer than the one in the example (it contains your screen resolution, etc.)]

Now you have to put another section under the previous. Make the new section look EXACTLY like the following example:

Section "Screen"
Device "Device[1]"
Identifier "Screen[1]"
Monitor "Monitor[1]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768_60"
EndSubSection
EndSection


NOTE if your TV does not support a refresh rate of 60Hz you might want to set this line "Modes "1024x768_60"" as "Modes "1024x768_50"" in order to set the refresh rate to 50Hz

If you did everything correctly you should have two Section “Screen” like in the example below (OF COURSE the resolutions you have in your xorg.conf are likely to be different from mine, therefore leave them as they are):

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Device "Device[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Device "Device[1]"
Identifier "Screen[1]"
Monitor "Monitor[1]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768_60"
EndSubSection
EndSection


Now you have to change your "ServerLayout" section and make it look like the following example:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen[0]"
Screen 1 "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Then change the two words in red and blue in the previous example with the ones you can find in your “InputDevice" section (which I will put in red and blue respectively):

In my case the "InputDevice" Section is the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Therefore in my case the result would be the following:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen[0]"
Screen 1 "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Ok, now save your xorg.conf and exit.

Now, let's try it.
Plug in the video cable (make sure that both your TV and your graphic card are linked by this cable)
Log out
Restart your computer.
Then log in and you will be able to see your desktop on your TV screen (ONLY after you login). Keep in mind that it is not a clone of your current desktop. It has its own resolution and you can use it INDEPENDENTLY from the desktop you can see on your main monitor.

For example you can watch a film (in full screen) on your TV screen while writing a text or surfing the web on your main monitor.

Here's how it works:

Move your mouse to the extreme right part of the screen until it disappears from your main monitor. You will now be able to see the cursor on your TV. From there you can use the cursor to open the files you need etc.

If you need to use the mouse cursor in your 1st desktop you have to move it to the extreme left of the screen until it disappears from your TV and reappears on your main Monitor.

Enjoy!

I've run through all the listed steps in both this guide and the previously referenced one, and I never get anything displayed on my television. X loads fine, everything seems to be working, but to get display, I have to run the nvtv frontend and configure everything by hand, which ends with me having cloned screens and locked resolution. Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?

Did you restart your computer?
nvtv is automatically launched every time you boot Ubuntu.

Thank you for this Howto. This has been the biggest struggle that I have had with Linux, right after Japanese input.

I have a display on my tv, with its own task bar. I am still having a couple of small problems...

One is that my autostart applications are starting and running on both screens. Any way I can get them to start only on "screen 0"?

The other problem is that I would like to be able to drag a mplayer window into screen 1 (TV), like I could in Windows. Any way to do that (or, are there any easy tricks or commands to get mplayer to open/play a movie directly on the tv?

I am using Kubuntu and a FX5200 card.

[slide]

I followed the guide step by step (even went back through it a few times to make sure) but it just wont work. Whenever gdm starts all i see is a black screen. In order to get the actual login prompt to show up i have to manually change the resolution. The mouse can always go off to the right of the screen but it just comes right back on the left side. I can tell though that its trying to use a resolution of 1024x768 as the mouse is restricted to the upper left corner. I noticed in my Xorg.0.log that i get
(WW) NVIDIA(1): Invalid ConnectedMonitor string token: "Monitor[1]";
(WW) NVIDIA(1): discarding token.

and futher down it says

(II) NVIDIA(1): Connected display device(s): CRT-0

My Xorg.0.log http://rafb.net/paste/results/asBLj525.html

Thanks

Slide,

One thing I noticed is that


Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"


should be with a dash in "S-VIDEO"

Option "TVOutFormat" "S-VIDEO"

I don't know if that si going to solve your problem, but is worth the addition.


I found something else. Take a look at this section from my (working) config:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[0]"
Option "NoLogo" "true
EndSection

Section "Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[1]"
Screen 1
Option "TwinView" "true"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

The bolded parts are different than yours.

[slide]

Yes, got it to work! :)
Ok, so tabinin you were right about the TVStandard being NTSC-M, but the TVOutFormat can only be SVIDEO and COMPOSITE, this is what i got in the log when i set it to S-VIDEO.


(**) NVIDIA(1): Option "TVOutFormat" "S-VIDEO"
(**) NVIDIA(1): Unknown TVOutFormat value. Known values are "SVIDEO" and
(**) NVIDIA(1): "COMPOSITE"

I don't know exactly what was wrong, it seems that xorg didnt like the name Monitor[1] and when i changed it to TV it works now, shrug. Thanks! :)

Weird... Anyhow I'll fix the s-video thing

[Knorhaen]

I too had to change "Monitor[1]" to "TV".

However, my TV screen is still blank. I have the following messages in X.org's logfile:

(II) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s): CRT-0, TV-0
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Multiple displays connected, but only one display allowed;
(WW) NVIDIA(0): using first display

What's going on?

Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf , please.

[Knorhaen]

I've attached my xorg.conf to this message.

[misse-]

My Xorg.0.log gave me the following error (except those about "(II) NVIDIA(1): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range)")

(EE) NVIDIA(1): This GPU cannot be shared by 2 X screens
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) UnloadModule: "ddc"

I'm not quite sure what to make of it, my Geforce 3 Ti 200 works in windows with tv-tools with PAL and color.. when I use the frontend for nvtv, I can clone the image, but no color on my TV. :-?

I've attached my xorg.conf to this message.
I hope I can help you tomorrow because today (I have deadlines) I have to finish writing (correcting actually) the abstract of my thesis (I'm going to get my degree on December 14).
Please, don't feel abandoned;) .

I wont, don't worry! ;)

I'll try to fiddle around with the settings a bit, maybe I can work this out on my own.

[Knorhaen]

I managed to remove all errors by renaming "Monitor[0]" to "CRT" and "Monitor[1]" to TV.

I still don't have an image on my TV, though. I suspect the composite-cable is broken: all software appears to be working fine, but the image on my TV is not recognizable and completely distorted.

I'll try that, thanks. :)
Do you think you can find the time to go through my xorg.conf, that I've posted earlier? I've looked through it several times, but my head's full of schoolwork so I can't really focus.

Oh,and tseliot, I've installed the latest nvidia drivers through automatix, and they're working properly with the splash-image 'n all. Do I still have to re-install them according to your guide?

[el3ktro]

Thanks for this how-to, I'll try it this evening. One question though, what is nvtv actually used for? What does it do? Some people said they used nvtv to configure this thing, so where is the difference then configuring it in xorg.conf? Well it seems that with your how-to you get two full-blown desktops, is there a way to get a blank, black screen on the TV, and just display a video from e.g. mplayer/xine on the TV?

Add this option in the "Section Device" of your xorg.conf:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "True"
Then log out and press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE

If this doesn't solve the problem try this:
press CTRL+ALT+F1
type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" OR (if you use KDE) "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop"
then "startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5"

and post the output

Thanks for this how-to, I'll try it this evening. One question though, what is nvtv actually used for? What does it do?
According to the description in Synaptic "This is a program to control the TV encoder chips on NVidia cards under
Linux, in order to get tv-out with a wide range of resolutions and
sizes, including "overscan" modes."

Some people said they used nvtv to configure this thing, so where is the difference then configuring it in xorg.conf?
I know that another way to get tv-out to work that is Twinview (you can find a good guide in this forum about it). However I can tell you that (according to my experience) if you play movies on your tv with Twinview they would not be perfect, perhaps there's something wrong with refresh rate but the movies don't seem to run smoothly. I don't know how to explain it better.

Well it seems that with your how-to you get two full-blown desktops, is there a way to get a blank, black screen on the TV, and just display a video from e.g. mplayer/xine on the TV?
Yes, it's possible but it doesn't work for me. The following method is a quotation from the guide which inspired mine:

... we will add small bash feature, which will let us to run players on second screen easly.
Do following in terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc
Add following section on end:

tv()
{
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
echo "usage: tv program name"
else
DISPLAY=:0.1 $1
fi
}

And you will be able to run e.g. Totem on second display by typing in terminal (or ALT+F2 and checked "Run in terminal"):

tv totem movie.avi

Nice feature for Kubuntu users, which will allow them to run movies from context menu. If somebody know trick like this for GNOME, let me know.

I managed to remove all errors by renaming "Monitor[0]" to "CRT" and "Monitor[1]" to TV.

I still don't have an image on my TV, though. I suspect the composite-cable is broken: all software appears to be working fine, but the image on my TV is not recognizable and completely distorted.
Please try with another cable and let me know

[Knorhaen]

I've replaced the composite-cable. The distortion is gone, but now the TV-screen stays black. Looking at X's logfile, it ought to be working... I really don't understand what's going on.

(I tried to attach X's logfile, but the forum says it's to big. I don't have any webspace myself...)

Do this:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

and post the output

(if it doesn't fit the page you can split the output in two posts)

And part 2:

Ok, Add this option in the "Section Device" of your xorg.conf:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "True"
Then log out and press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE

If this doesn't solve the problem try this:
press CTRL+ALT+F1
type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" OR (if you use KDE) "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop"
then "startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5"

and post the output

Tell me how it goes

[Knorhaen]

That had no noticable effect (I added the line to both "Dervice" sections, BTW).

Part 2:

Please put a space (a blank line) between a section and the next one. For example:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[0]" #CRT
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-85
VertRefresh 50-160
Gamma 1.2 1.2 1.2
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV" #TV
HorizSync 60
VertRefresh 30-150
EndSection

should be
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[0]" #CRT
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-85
VertRefresh 50-160
Gamma 1.2 1.2 1.2
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV" #TV

VertRefresh 30-150
EndSection

Do it for all your xorg.conf.

I'll give you further instructions later

[Knorhaen]

Do it for all your xorg.conf.

Done.

[tseliot]

Done.
Everything seems ok in your xorg.conf.
I have some advices for you:
1) Try to switch (with your remote) between the A/V
2) You can see something on your TV only after you log in (in other words you will not be able to see the GDM or KDM login manager)

If those advices don't provide you the solution I apologise. I really can't think because I'm stressed as I'm going to get my degree next wednesday and I'm studying. I hope I can help you better after my degree.

[corruption]

I managed to get it working for myself, by doing as others mentioned and renaming the device names in xorg.conf. The only catch I've run into is I must have the tv on the input channel when I start X otherwise I'm stuck at a black screen on the CRT with no display on the tv. Small consolation for a 2nd desktop on the tv. Thanks!

Ok, I'll fix the guide as soon as possible.

[corruption]

One more question... less of an issue, more personal curiosity.. does anyone know a way to set independent desktop backgrounds for each display? The image I use on my desktop, for lack of a better term, 'washes out' on the tv.. that is, the image is kind of blurry, a little distorted, and the colors seem to fluctuate in some spots.. when I've tried less color-intensive images, it looks fine, but I'm locked to the same image on both screens. Any help?

Also, and this one is really purely for the geek factor.. is there any way to start an xscreensaver session on the tv monitor, and leave the desktop monitor usable? This one is more of a pipe dream for myself, but it sure would be cool ;)

How does this all work out on an HDTV? I'm using an nVidia 6600GT card with HDTV output. The TV standard in xorg.conf is set to HD1080i. Output is through an S-video connector to an nVidia adapter that breaks that out into component video. This plugs into the back of the HDTV. It looks REALLY NICE! except that it is a 1024x768 window sitting on a 1920x1080 background. I wish I could figure out how to make the window 1920x1080 (to match the TV) or at least 1600x900 (which nVidia recommends because of 15% overscan on most TVs). Any ideas on how to convince the nVidia drivers to do their thing? (BTW, I have Breezy Badger 5.10 AMD64, fresh install, on an Intel945 board.)

[mo_x]

refering to original post of tseliot.
The syntax used for the ConnectedMonitor option is incorrect. It is better to not use the ConnectedMonitor option unless you are experiencing problems.
The procedure of setting up multiple X screens is also descriped in the nvidia README that comes with the driver. It also explains al the options you can use in your xorg.conf.
I attached my xorg.conf as an example.

Try to modify the following section of your xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Device "Device[1]"
Identifier "Screen[1]"
Monitor "Monitor[1]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection

And make it look like this:
Section "Screen"
Device "Device[1]"
Identifier "Screen[1]"
Monitor "Monitor[1]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Log out and CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE

OR if it doesn't work have a look at the following guide to set the correct resolution: Howto: change resolution/refresh rate in Xorg (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973&highlight=resolution)

I attached my xorg.conf as an example.
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "string"

Allows you to override what the NVIDIA kernel module detects is
connected to your video card. This may be useful, for example, if you
use a KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch and you are switched away
when X is started. In such a situation, the NVIDIA kernel module
cannot detect what display devices are connected, and the NVIDIA X
driver assumes you have a single CRT.

Valid values for this option are "CRT" (cathode ray tube), "DFP"
(digital flat panel), or "TV" (television); if using TwinView, this
option may be a comma-separated list of display devices; e.g.: "CRT,
CRT" or "CRT, DFP".

NOTE: anything attached to a 15 pin VGA connector is regarded by the
driver as a CRT. "DFP" should only be used to refer to flatpanels
connected via a DVI port.
Default: string is NULL.
Ok I know it's not enabled by default but it might solve some users' problems (this guide is for newbies). It won't damage or spoil anything so I don't see any problem. Anyhow if you do see a problem you can explain it to me (I'm kind of openminded)

[mo_x]

This is from your howto:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[1]"
but the valid options are "CRT", "DFP" or "TV". If you have a crt monitor and a tv connected is should be something like:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,TV"
Most of the time the driver will detect what devices are connected and the option is not necessary. When te option is not used correctly it can also cause problems.

I see your point, I don't have any problem but I'll fix that (I have to fix the entire guide according to the suggestions of the other users who had other problems)

[mo_x]

Because of the wrong syntax the ConnectedMonitor option is probably ignored. You can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for warnings and errors.

Ok, thanks but I'll remove the option for now.

[polt]

This relates to HDTV support. My xorg.conf is now modified to bring it into line with this HowTo

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 60
VertRefresh 30-150
Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

When I reboot it comes up in 1024x768 mode. The output looks very good -- HDTV quality, but still a smaller window on a larger (1920x1080) screen. /var/log/xorg.0.log reports that 1600x900 is a non-existent mode (even though nVidia 6600GT docs clearly show it exists).

Most modes are not supported at this hsync rate, so I would suggest increasing your recommendation when HDTV is involved. When I raised it to 150 kHz the HDTV displayed only a part of the window. I'll report later on if anything in between works out.

Also, if you read carefully below you will see there are no 16x9 modes at all. I feel like there must be a setting that will guide the driver to start looking for these modes (like 1920x1080) because the card supports them.

I think in the howto the values for HorizSync and VertRefresh have been mixed up
from the howto:
HorizSync 60
VertRefresh 30-150
from the nvidia readme:
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60

Thanks for making me notice. I suppose the stress due to my graduation made me do many mistakes. I should have some rest;) .

[tseliot]

This relates to HDTV support. My xorg.conf is now modified to bring it into line with this HowTo.
Also, if you read carefully below you will see there are no 16x9 modes at all. I feel like there must be a setting that will guide the driver to start looking for these modes (like 1920x1080) because the card supports them.
If Mo_x suggestion (i.e. correction) doesn't work for you you should have a look at the following guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973&highlight=resolution

[polt]

HorizSync vs. VertRefresh

Well, we're all trying to figure this out. If we knew it, we wouldn't be here. ;) I found something on the nVidia website called NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Driver Set README and Installation Guide. Its available by FTP (HTTP doen't work!?) at http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8178/README/index.html (ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8178/README/index.html)
It might be a little out of date

Anyhow, they recommend using

#
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60


I think that's a little low for a decent HDTV.

When I increase HorizSync to 30-100 the video doesn't work right and GUI is unusable. (Use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get back to terminal and recover your xorg.conf backup.) Notice that we now need a range of Vertical Refresh rates to satisfy the card.

I don't want to pollute this sytem with XP, but I'm tempted to try it just to see what the Windows driver can do. The xorg.0.log file gives me no hope that HDTV is supported in 16x9 aspect ratio with the Linux driver, but the video card user manual is very clear that those modes *are* supported.

How are you connecting the HDTV, throught tv-out or dvi?
The 1.0-8178 is very recent (today).

[polt]

Connection Method

The card is a Gigabyte 6600GT. My HDTV has only component video inputs (3 wires colored Red, Green and Blue) and no DVI connector (actually it has one but it is incompatible with the usual flat screen cable and they say not to plug a computer in there). There is an adapter that plugs into the S-VIDEO output on the video card and breaks that out into component video. That is what I'm using to connect with the HDTV.

What's the model of your HDTV?

[polt]

It's a big Sony projection model a couple of years old. It's a 1080i system. I don't think 1080p is supported, but I'm not really sure yet. Can't find the manual to give exact model number.

It's pretty clear that the nVidia card is not talking with the monitor. The component video connection is recommended in the manual for HDTV connection. It is an analog, one-way communication. IMHO, it's something about the driver or the configuration that is preventing the 16x9 video modes from appearing.

If you know the name of the model you can find the supported refresh rates and resolutions.

[tseliot]

UPDATE: I've put Option "ConnectedMonitor" back in the guide because in my case the Xserver doesn't work if I disable that option.

EDIT: I have installed driver 8178 and its GREAT. It adds an application "Nvidia X server settings" which lets you tweak both your TV and Monitor performance.

After you find the exact model of your HDTV have a look at this:
The "TVStandard" option should be added to your screen section; valid values are:
TVStandard Description
"PAL-B" used in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Guinea, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland
"PAL-D" used in China and North Korea

[polt]

I'm not sure what you mean?

I have been using HD1080i all along and getting a very nice 1024x768 window. I can also coax it up to 1280x1024, but that runs into "overscan" problems.

The ideal resoltuion is "1600x900," but the Linux software does not recognize the existence of that TV mode. (Take a look at the xorg.0.log files I posted earlier.)

I have tried a very wide range of refresh rates and horizontal syncs. None of the settings gives me anything but 4x3 windows on a 16x9 screen.

The point is: the present thread is great for TV, but I have yet to see it work for HDTV. I'm hoping we can figure out how to improve it. Has anyone gotten the recommendations of this HowTo to work on HDTV (not flat-screen monitor)?

[mo_x]

@polt
I suggest you try the new 1.0-8178 driver. It has some improvements for HDTV modes.
Also take a look on the nvidia linux forums, there are various threads on making HDTV work.

Is is possible to only have one desktop? Meaning, is there a way to show whats on my monitor in the tv?

Only 1 card is required and you can use the 2 screens independently (e.g.you can watch a film on 1 screen and play games on the other one)

[tseliot]

I'll let you know if I find a way to do that (the clone screen function didn't work for me).

In the meantime you can try with the guide about Nvidia Twinview (cloning screens works there)

[Luzbel]

Yes, I undestood so far, but as stated in the howto, you have to log into X and then you get both screens working. I was wondering if there is any chance two run two independent sessions of X(org), one for each screen, so I can log two different users at the same time with an individual screen for each. All that using the TV-Out thing, without needing to get one more graphic card. Thank you!

PS: I'll inform you if I manage to get this working.

Um, I already had it that way.
Ok, then do this thing for me:
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 (you will only see the command line)
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use kDM)
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

and post the output (which you can find under /var/log/Xorg.0.log )

[Luzbel]

I think I've already read about that, not sure thou. If getting a black and white image, is it the TV to blame? Are there any other possible reasons? Thank you!

Answering myself, it's most probably because of the cable. Will check with other TV when I have time.

[dninja]

Brilliant tutorial, worked first time, apart from I only get black and white on my tv. I'm in the UK and connecting with an SVIDEO -> scart cable. I put the following in my xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[1]"
Screen 1
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" #or COMPOSITE etc
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-I" #or NTSC etc
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[1]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0" #adjust using 'lspci' or cat /proc/pci
EndSection

Any ideas how to get colour?

[dninja]

Another question, how do I get tv only output? The pc is going to be used with just the telly so I need to remove the crt output.

I tried the obvious stuff of removing the crt stuff and just leaving the tv sections but if I do that I get crt in tv resolution.

No, I tried that, this is what I end up with and all I get is monitor output in 640x480.

Ok, then do this thing for me:
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 (you will only see the command line)
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use kDM)
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

and post the output (which you can find under /var/log/Xorg.0.log )

No, I tried that, this is what I end up with and all I get is monitor output in 640x480.

Have I missed anything?
Sorry but I was in a hurry before and I gave you a wrong answer (I had to have lunch).

Ok, set your xorg.conf following the guide except for this part:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen[0]"
Screen 1 "Screen[1]" "Clone" "Screen[0]"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

and restart X (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE)

Or

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen 1 "Screen[1]"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

and restart X (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE)
Tell me which one works (if there's one which works) and what happens.

[tseliot]

I think I've already read about that, not sure thou. If getting a black and white image, is it the TV to blame? Are there any other possible reasons? Thank you!

Answering myself, it's most probably because of the cable. Will check with other TV when I have time.
I have a doubt. Could you try this thing?
Change the following parameters of your tv in the section "monitor"

HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 50

EDIT: I think you should install the latest nvidia drivers 8178 (use method 2 of my guide about the drivers). There are some users who complain about the same problem and it often depends on the driver version (and on your card)

This works:

I removed all references to the crt and changed the screen number to 0 and that seems to have fixed it.

I also found that if I don't have a monitor plugged in then all terminal output goes to the tv.

How can I tell how high resolution my TV will go? Could I break the tv if I push the resolution too high?

Now all I need to do is get it in colour. I'll try upgrading to the latest drivers and see what happens.

Thanks

[dninja]

I've tried the latest version of the nvidia drivers (1.0-8178) and all is still black and white.

Something I did notice though is that the bios output is also in black and white so I'm wondering if it is something do do with the tv or the card. I've tried 2 different cables so it isn't the cable.

I'll try it with a different tv later and see.

[Luzbel]

My problem is similar to dninja's. TV is B/W since BIOS starts, so I supposed it was the cable. I've not tested other TV yet. Thank you!

[odinriko]

Thank you for this Howto. This has been the biggest struggle that I have had with Linux, right after Japanese input.

I have a display on my tv, with its own task bar. I am still having a couple of small problems...

One is that my autostart applications are starting and running on both screens. Any way I can get them to start only on "screen 0"?

The other problem is that I would like to be able to drag a mplayer window into screen 1 (TV), like I could in Windows. Any way to do that (or, are there any easy tricks or commands to get mplayer to open/play a movie directly on the tv?

I am using Kubuntu and a FX5200 card.

I use an alias for mplayer that has these options
"mplayer -fs -display :0.1"
that should make it fullscreen on your tv

[odinriko]

likely you have the cable setting wrong.

Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Change it to the type of cable you use. RGB, composite, and SVIDEO are the only options I know of.

[odinriko]

Does anyone have recommendations on software that is readable/usable on a standard tv? Or is there some settings that I'm missing that makes text easier to read? I know there are interlacing problems with using a tv, but I am trying to find settings that will make it feasable to use only a tv on my system. (My monitor is about to die, and I don't have the cash to buy another one, so this is fairly mission critical to me)

Perhaps the resolution is too high for your tv. Try with 640x480 and 800x600.
I hope it helps.

Just tried it on my better tv and I've got colour. The bios stuff is still in black and white but X is in colour. The picture quality is dreadful but I guess that is down to refresh rates. I'm desparatly trying to find my tv manual to find out what it can handle.

Something I do remember from the manual is that the tv has a svideo socket but there is a warning about not plugging computer equipment into it, possibly also mentioning a certain voltate (3v perhaps). With this vague description can anyone shed any light on svideo, voltages and what would happen if I stoped using my svideo to scart converter and plugged the svideo cable directly in?

Also, if anyone can suggest why one tv is black and white and the other colour with the same pc, cable and config then I'd be interested. Now I've started playing I'd like to get my main pc working with the tv that currently only does black and white so I can have movies playing while "working".

What's the model and brand of your TV (the one with black & white)?

[dninja]

A ferguson 626/TX91 G GB.

[tseliot]

A ferguson 626/TX91 G GB.
I can't find anything useful about it on the internet. Perhaps it's just the refresh rate.
Anyhow you should ask in the Unofficial Nvidia Forum http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14

[dninja]

A friend suggested that last night so I'll try it later, I know when I've tried running the PS2 at 60 rather than 50 the picture has been messed up.

[dninja]

Sorted the pc and main telly. As I said before it was there and colour but with really bad picture quality. It was originally in scart socket AV1, if I changed it to AV2 the picture quality was perfect but black and white again, but by accident I found that when chosing AV2 I could also chose AV2S which gave picture quality and colour. I've no idea what the S stands for and what the differences between AV1, AV2 and AV2S are but I now have a nice clear picture in colour.

Just got to fix the Ferguson portable with the desktop PC and all is well.

Hi,

OK, so I've been playing with this for at least 5 hours & still can't seem to get it to work.

So here's what I've done so far:
Did all the modifications to xorg.conf that you mentionned. Rebooted my computer. Error message come up before I can get to the user-log-on GUI saying
"Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface) It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?"
Clicked on "Yes". Got another message that was similar to the first one, clicked on another "yes" button, got a terminal screen.
Thankfully I had followed your advice & backed up my previous xorg.conf file. I replaced the new file w/old one & rebooted. (and I was really, really happy to know the "sudo cp" command by heart!)

So I have this currently as my xorg.conf file:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)

The odd thing is that when I rebooted by computer, my TV was showing everything fine until the loggon GUI, to which point all the screen does is show odd colours (pretty but useless...)
So my tv-out seems to kinda work... However as of now, I don't quite know what to do....

[artnay]

This is a basic trick when using two separate X instances. If you already have a file manager open (let's say Nautilus) in screen 0 (the primary monitor), you most probably don't want to navigate into same place in screen 1 just to click the movie file. This script should do it.

1. Open a text editor
2. Add the following lines:

# !/bin/sh
DISPLAY=:0.1 /usr/bin/gmplayer -fs "$*"

3. Save the document
4. Open Nautilus
5. Find something to watch, click it with the right mouse button
6. Choose "Open with", then choose "Open with another application"
7. Select "Use a custom command" and then type "sh /path/where/you/saved/document/that/you/created/in/phase3/document". Then press "Open".

Now the movie should start in fullscreen mode in screen 1. This script should be visible in "Other Application" menu after you've used it once. This script assumes you have a symlink called gmplayer in your /usr/bin, but you can change it to whatever player you want. Hope it saves your time and nerves.

[lucidite]

Thanks for that, and I will be using that tip, however I still have my initial problem: my TV screen doesn't show anything coherant.
I know it works, since the TV shows the first screens and the booting up of Ubuntu, however when the loggon GUI comes up, the screen becomes, well, an odd mixture of pigments and colours. Nothing like my screen. And it doesn't seem to have created a second "screen" -- when it shows stuff, it shows what's on my monitor.

Hi,

OK, so I've been playing with this for at least 5 hours & still can't seem to get it to work.

So here's what I've done so far:
Did all the modifications to xorg.conf that you mentionned. Rebooted my computer. Error message come up before I can get to the user-log-on GUI saying
"Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface) It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?"
Clicked on "Yes". Got another message that was similar to the first one, clicked on another "yes" button, got a terminal screen.
Thankfully I had followed your advice & backed up my previous xorg.conf file. I replaced the new file w/old one & rebooted. (and I was really, really happy to know the "sudo cp" command by heart!)

So I have this currently as my xorg.conf file:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

You do not seem to have the nvidia drivers installed.
Please install them.

[lucidite]

Did that, and received another error message, similar to the first one. When my computer booted up, got the "Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly ."
Redid the same thing that I had done previously to fix problem (copy the old xorg.conf_backup to replace the new one) and it fixed the problem...

You need the drivers. You might:
1) Follow EVERY step of my guide HOWTO: Latest NVIDIA drivers (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074)
2) Post the output of the error in that thread so that I can help you.
In other words you have to:
set the driver to "nvdia" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead of "nv".
then do this thing for me:
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 (you will only see the command line)
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use kDM)
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

and post the output (which you can find under /var/log/Xorg.0.log ).

NOTE:
If you can't us the Graphical interface any more try this:
then type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and set the driver back to "nv" (instead of "nvidia")
Then
CTRL+O to save
CTRL+X to exit
type "startx" and everything will work again

[lucidite]

So I re-installed the drivers and this time it worked, however my "screen" is larger then my monitor. In other words, it almost seems as if my desktop is almost twice the size of my monitor. Is that normal?

Did what you asked and tried to post my /var/log/Xorg.0.log however it's too long for a single post and instead of dividing it up into many, many posts, is there something in particular I need to look for & post?

And thank you for your help!

No, it's not normal. It's likely that the monitor was not set up correctly. So that the xserver tries to apply a resolution which is larger than your monitor (according to settings) supports.
1) Post your xorg.conf
2) Post the refresh rate (vertical and horizontal) of your monitor (have a look at its manual or at the the specs provided on the website of the manufacturer of your monitor).

Made the modifications, rebooted and it didn't work. Well, at least it doesn't seem like it. My windows can still be dragged out of my monitor.

As for the resolution, this is what the manufacturer's webpage had to say:

Figured out that it was just me not knowing how to configure my desktop. (I'm kinda new at this whole configuring thing...)

With the new drivers, now everything seems to work. (yay!)

Thank you very much for your help & patience.

[mflash]

Sorted the pc and main telly. As I said before it was there and colour but with really bad picture quality. It was originally in scart socket AV1, if I changed it to AV2 the picture quality was perfect but black and white again, but by accident I found that when chosing AV2 I could also chose AV2S which gave picture quality and colour. I've no idea what the S stands for and what the differences between AV1, AV2 and AV2S are but I now have a nice clear picture in colour.

Just got to fix the Ferguson portable with the desktop PC and all is well.

I'd just like to add that I have a similar setup, but my telly has only a single
SCART socket. Then I have to select AV-S (instead of AV) to get colour.
Guess AV-S means S-VIDEO ? (BTW, it's a Ferguson as well)

[dninja]

I've fixed it!

I had got the media PC working and given up on getting the portable working with my desktop but mflashs mail spured me on again.

I've found the hidden menu option to get it to use AV-S rather than plain old AV. I've now got perfect quality output running on my tv. I've just got to find a way to get the tv save the setting.

Hi, quick question.

I'm not going to be using my tv-out much and my tv will be unplugged most of the time (too few inputs). This is a problem because if I boot with my tv unplugged I just get a blank screen on my monitor.
So is it possible to switch to tv-out only when needed or make my monitor work even if the tv-out isn't plugged in?

cheers

[dninja]

I'm in a similar position so I declared my LCD monitor as the main one and positioned the tv above it so that when the tv was on I could slip the mouse off the top of the screen to reach it. Having it left or right I kept disappearing off when I didn't want to.

With this setup everything works fine, no blank screens. Try this:


Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "LCDScreen"
Screen 1 "TVScreen" Above "LCDScreen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"

*** There are two warnings, but I couldn't do anything with them...

[mo_x]

You are using the nv driver instead of the nvidia driver.
Also the ConnectedMonitor option is used wrong.

I agree with mo_x.
You should install the nvidia drivers (see the link to my guide in my signature)
Moreover your option should be
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"

[gizm0]

I have installed newest nvidia drivers and i have amd64 kernel.

I have tried severaly to install TV-out for my Nvidia geforce 6600, but haven't got any luck with it. I checked the cables and cables are ok, because tv can get it's signal when i'm using windows xp.

I only got it working once, but then my LCD-screen didn't work. At the point when i got LCD-screen to work then my TV-screen didn't work.

Also i have noticed that my cursor can be scrolled all away to the next screen, but the TV-screen is still blank.

You have to find this part:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"

and make it look like this:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[1]"

Then when you get to the login screen plug the cable in and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace.

Then login and an something should appear on your TV

[gizm0]

I noticed few mix ups, when i turned the computer on (without the TV cable plugged in):
-TV-screen didn't work at the start
-LCD-screen had TV resolution on (so it was thinking that my LCD-screen is TV-screen)
-when i pressed alt-ctrl-backspace the LCD-screen turned to normal and TV-screen didn't do anything (just blinked one or two times)

Try to remove this option:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"

then log out and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace

Ok now it works, but i got new problem :D.

My LCD-screen is showing TV-resolution and TV-screen is showing LCD-resolution.

How to fix this problem?

And thanks for the help. I couldn't have done this without a help :).

Perhaps the resolution for your TV is too low. Make it look like this:
Section "Screen"
Device "Device[1]"
Identifier "Screen[1]"
Monitor "Monitor[1]"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection

then log out and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace

IF (and ONLY IF) that doesn't solve the problem you can try this:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Device "Device[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[1]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection

Thanks!

I will try that later on today :).

[gizm0]

I tried the solution for that but it didn't change anything. The problem is that my login screen etc. is on the TV-screen. Even though i change the resolution it wont put the login screen on my LCD-screen

So the problem is that Ubuntu think my LCD-screen is the second screen (not the primary).

Ok, remove my 2nd suggestion (those which came after "IF (and ONLY IF) that doesn't solve the problem you can try this")

And remove this option:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[1]"

then log out and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace

[gizm0]

Nope it didn't work. Any more suggestions?

Btw. nothing didn't change and here is the new config file in the attachment

[tseliot]

Ok....now i have fixed that line and rebooted computer, but it still does not work :(.

Any ideas? Cables are ok...i checked cables with my other computer and windows xp.
Remember not to boot (EVER) with the TV-OUT calbe plugged in.

The xorg.conf looks ok.

There are some users who can't use the Nvidia Tv-OUT (not only in Ubuntu).

If the TV-OUT doesn't work for you you can try Nvidia Twinview (there is a guide on this forum)

[gizm0]

k i will try again tomorrow, to figure out the problem.

thank anyways :).

[isTHEr3mOr3]

Hi all,

I've spend hours getting tv-out to work. It works on windows but I can't get it working on Linux. My card: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
I want to clone the desktop to the tv.

This is the xorg.conf I think should work, but there's no TV-image at all.
Hope someone can help me here.

Thanks.

[isTHEr3mOr3]

Thank you for your reply, but I can't get anything on my TV so if you can help me with another solution it's ok too.
The twinview link doesn't help me, it describes connecting 2 monitors and that's not my problem.

I've tried a lot of xorg samples and I think I know how it works, but obviously I'm missing something.

Pretend your TV is a 2nd monitor and follow that guide (I've tried it and it worked)

[mcpish]

I've used this guide and it works perfectly on my GeForce 6200 with S-Video out. Thank you.

I now have it setup exactly the way I want.

I setup a custom background wallpaper to display on the TV-Only desktop (the classic bars test-pattern to ensure the colors are accurate on the TV). Then I removed the KDE application panel from the TV-desktop so that only my wallpaper shows on the TV without anything else (the TV color bar test pattern) when I'm not playing a video file. I also copied the script recommended earlier and now I can just right-click on any video file and choose a new "television" option I created in the drop-down menu and the video will start playing automatically in full-screen on the TV (using mplayer) while I remain on my desktop on the PC monitor. After configuring the TV-desktop I removed the "leftof" section of the xorg.conf file and rebooted so that the mouse doesn't traverse desktops but always sticks on the PC desktop now. I only use the TV for playing video files and for that I just simply use the method above to instantly send any video file to the TV. After a file is done playing, the TV simply goes back to the Test Pattern.

I use the same method. Only downside is that I cant pause or stop the video, because I also removed leftof thingie from xorg.conf (dont like when mouse dissappears to tv screen when tv is not on).

Is it possible to use both screens without having to move the cursor from screen to screen. For example a shortcut key, which selects between screens. Its hard to explain when you dont speak english natively, but I hope you understand what I mean. ;)

I understand what you mean (I'm Italian) but the only thing I can suggest you is to have a look at this guide for Gentoo:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors

Then look for the "Moving focus between screens" section. There is a little app there which I haven't tried myself which should enable you to switch between screens.

Then you should look for a guide on the Ubuntu forums about key bindings in GNOME.

I wish I had the time to write a guide about that :(

Thanks for the reply,

Sorry to have wasted your time, I had just found that howto and managed to get my dual head working nicely.

Thanks again.

[Ensnared]

Follwing this howto made my TV-out work nicely, thanks :) Things like this helps when you've been using ATI for a decade and just now switched to something better ;)

I do have one question though - is there any way to get a widescreen resolution on my TV? I have a 32" Panasonic widescreen CRT TV, but the only resolution I get on it is 1024x768 but I'm fairly certain that the TV itself supports 1366x768 like most 32" widescreen TV's do. I tried entering that as the resolution under the Screen section for the TV (Device[1]/Monitor[1]) but that didn't help.

My board is an nVidia Geforce 6200 256MB, and I'm using the latest drivers on Dapper.

So is there any way to make it work, or is this perhaps a limitation of the driver itself?

[SSamiK]

Thanks for a great HOWTO! Worked like a charm with my GeForce4 Ti4200. :D


Just a few things....

Well it seems that with your how-to you get two full-blown desktops, is there a way to get a blank, black screen on the TV, and just display a video from e.g. mplayer/xine on the TV?

Is it a way to do this? I have a nautilus-script (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=378322&postcount=54) witch allows me to rigth-click a file and display it on the TV in fullscreen, but i would like to remove the menus and maby even the wallpaper, as they are of no use.

Secondly, i used to have running programs displayed on the gnome panel when minimized, but now they just vanish and i need to use the TAB button to find them again... Not a big deal, but annoying. Anyone who knows what causes this, and how to fix it?

Last but not least: Is there a way to be able to drag a open program (and/or files), from the monitor over to the tv? As of now, programs and files stop at the right end of my monitor and only the mousepointer move over to the TV.

[ralin]

I followed the guide and my TV shows ubuntu starting up, shows the nvidia logo, and then it shows that grey screen that pops up right before the logon screen. But it stays stuck there. I have tried several different settigns to get it to work but i cant seem to be able to get anything other than a grey screen on the tv. i can move my mouse off the right side of my lcd desktop, so the server section seems to be working right. i think its probably something wrong with how i setup the tv as a monitor in my xorg.conf. im running dapper flight 6 with xgl and compiz (it dosent work even i change to a normal session) but that could be causing alot of the problems. It also prevents me form useing twinview.

here is my xorg.conf:

[tseliot]

Follwing this howto made my TV-out work nicely, thanks :) Things like this helps when you've been using ATI for a decade and just now switched to something better ;)

I do have one question though - is there any way to get a widescreen resolution on my TV? I have a 32" Panasonic widescreen CRT TV, but the only resolution I get on it is 1024x768 but I'm fairly certain that the TV itself supports 1366x768 like most 32" widescreen TV's do. I tried entering that as the resolution under the Screen section for the TV (Device[1]/Monitor[1]) but that didn't help.

My board is an nVidia Geforce 6200 256MB, and I'm using the latest drivers on Dapper.
Try this guide:

Can't you do that? You should have 2 distinct desktops

Right click on the gnome panel and add the taskbar.

I don't know if it's possible. I usually open an application on the same display I need to use it.

Hello all,
I have just read this thread from start to end, unfortunately I am now totally confused as to which part of the how-to applies to me.

I want to set-up my pc to my tv only, I do not need or want another monitor (though I can connect one if necessary to assist with the set-up).

I am based in Germany so my tv is PAL-B (I think).

I am connecting via a SVIDEO (or is that S-VIDEO) and at present I have the ubuntu desktop on the tv but with terrrible colour renditioning (bright, garish colours and barely readable text) and it is to big.

My xorg.conf is a normally generated one, i.e. I have not carried out any changes as per the how-to.

I lot of the thread talks about twin set-up and focussing, which bit do I need to use to get tv only.

Thanks
Titus.

I have never tried such a thing. However if your problem is the resolution and refresh rate you can try this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973&highlight=resolution

[Titus A Duxass]

Okay, I managed to get it working.
I copy the xorg.conf posted by dninja on about page 8 of this thread.
Then I did some changes:
PAL-I to PAL-B
changed the mouse and keyboard entries in the server section to:
Generic Keyboard
Configured Mouse

Fired it all up again, found the mouse was locked.
Cured that by removing power, removing the BIOS battery and resetting the BOIS.

Now it all works apart from MythTV being slightly bigger than the TV screen, I think I'll have to go to Myth Talk for that one. I did try nvtv but it gives "segmentation fault".

[cazz]

Hmm I follow that guide and restart and now I cant see GNOME because that is something wrong with the Server-X.

I have attach that config that work (xorg.conf.orginal) and that config that dont work (xorg.conf.change)

Maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong :???:

[elsupermang]

For those of you with laptops here's how to set it up so X will activate any extra screens as a clone automatically.


Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV41.8 [GeForce Go 6800]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "CursorShadow" "1"
Option "NoLogo"
Option "TwinView" "true"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "Metamodes" "dfp-0:1440x900,dfp-1:1024x768@1440x900;dfp-0:1440x900,tv:800x600@1440x900;dfp-0:1440x900,dfp-1:NULL"
EndSection

dfp-0 refers to your laptop screen, dfp-1 refers to any CRT or LCD connected via the 15 pin connector and tv refers to the S-VIDEO connection.

This way you can connect whatever you want and it will automatically setup everything without having to edit your xorg.conf. The last metamode is for running with only your laptop monitor activated when there is no connection present.

Also the 1024x768 @ 1440 x 900 makes it so you will output a resolution of 1024x768 with a panning area of 1440x900. Its for when the other monitor cant support that big a resolution but you want the whole screen to be panned. If your laptop monitor has a standard resolution of 1024x768 you dont need this.

[cazz]

Thanks I change orginal so it look like

EndSection

I can see a picture on my TV but that is black and white to big (only part of login script show) that I think that is because the picture is to little.
But I have no picture on my laptop, is just black screen.

[elsupermang]

You have to change the resolution, my laptop uses 1440X900 as its native resolution so you have to change it to match your laptop's native, unless it is 1440x900 as well.

For example if your laptops native is 1280x720 you would use

Option "Metamodes" "dfp-0:1280x720,dfp-1:1280x720;dfp-0:1280x720,tv:800x600@1280x720;dfp-0:1280x720,dfp-1:NULL"

the @ is used when the maximum resolution supported by the other monitor is smaller than the resolution your first monitor is outputting. if anyone knows how to scale this so you can have different resolutions fit perfectly, please do tell.

[cazz]

Now I have picture on TV and my laptop but that is something strange.

1) I have a black and white picture on TV?

2) I change size of tv:XXXXXX but that is same size on the tv when I restart the X-server??

/EDIT

1) I change in the config file from SVIDEO to Composit (But I have a S-video contact) so now I have color (strong colour)

2) I have read about that a TV only can take 800x600 but that dont show whole desktop?

I have this now

"dfp-0:1280x800,dfp-1:1024x768@1280x800;dfp-0:1280x800,tv:800x600;dfp-0:1280x800,dfp-1:NULL"

What is wrong? I know i use an SVIDEO and i have try with PAL-B and PAL-G. I am from Sweden so sorry for my bad English.

[elsupermang]

Cazz change tv:800x600 to tv:800x600@1280x800

It's not the best solution but its better than having to set your laptop screen to 800x600.

kebab try some other formats

PAL-B


Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Guinea, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland

PAL-D


China and North Korea

PAL-G


Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland

PAL-H


Belgium

PAL-I


Hong Kong, Ireland, and United Kingdom

PAL-K1


Guinea

PAL-M


Brazil

PAL-N


France, Paraguay, and Uruguay

PAL-NC


Argentina

NTSC-J


Japan

NTSC-M


Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Taiwan, United States of America, and Venezuela

HD480i


480 line interlaced

HD480p


480 line progressive

HD720p


720 line progressive

HD1080i


1080 line interlaced

HD1080p


1080 line progressive

HD576i


576 line interlace

HD576p


576 line progressive

Also make sure your TV actually supports 1024x768, i know some that can only do 800x600 or 640x480

I have never give up before and I dont going to give up yet. [-(

I have attach my xorg.conf file
I see no error in the Xorg.0.log

i change the resolutuion and now it works =) But there is one thing i dont like, i cant switch of the tv on an easy way. Is that possibel?

[elsupermang]

Well all you have to do is disconnect the cable heh. But if your on a laptop some have a hardware switch (like FN + F8) that will kill the signals.

[gizm0]

I finally got my xorx.conf work with my DiBoss 32" (HDTV) LCD-TV. Now i have two kinds of problems: when i remove "ModeLine "720p" 73.825 1280 1320 1368 1640 720 722 724 751 +hsync +vsync" line from Monitor section, then LCD TV works great, BUT it has very big black borders around of the picture. The second problem is that, if i include "ModeLine "720p" 73.825 1280 1320 1368 1640 720 722 724 751 +hsync +vsync" line to monitor section, then the picture will overscan and i can't see the taskbars.

I have tried to set the resolution to 1080i, but it did the same thing :(. I also have tried to remove and add virtual screen size, but it didn't help either. This is the only problem that i have with tv-out: overscan or black borders around the picture (empty space).

Has anybody got advices for this? Here is my xorg.conf in the attachment.

Here is my computers etc. specs: AMD 64 2800+,epox paj,nvidia 6600,breezy badger,nvidia drivers and DiBoss 32" LCD-TV (HDTV LT-32Q5LFH). LCD-Tv is connected to PC with component cable.

[eerstkoffie]

wow ! interesting and complete stuff here, but i could'nt find anything for my nvtv-problem.
maybe one of you can help me out.

after i installed nvtv, i could start my machine, and after login, pessing the F1 button starts my television.

but, the screen, the desktop that appears on my tv is huge. like zooming in and only seeing the centerpart of the desktop. it's way to big to resize it with the mouse.
changing resolution didn't help, and besides that, nvtv doesn't seem to remember any changes i made, after a restart.

i'm using a Asus 7100 card, believe it uses nvidia chipset.
nvidia drivers installed on my box.

hope someone has a tip...

[Haegin]

Hi,
I followed the guide in post 1 and my TV still isn't working. Its worked before so I know it isnt the hardware. Here is my xorg.conf and a snippet from my Xorg.0.log.
Can you see anything wrong?

[Patok]

Hey
Used your guide
Thing is, now my keyboard doesnt work and my mouse can move but not click
And the tvout doesnt wor k either, and my Gnome desktop was totally changed
Please what can i do
Thanx

edit:
I managed to restore the old xorg.conf file from the backup, but I would still really like to be able to have the tv-out, so what can I do?

[Jonas_Henricsson]

I followed the instructions, but after I tried restarting the computer, X doesn't load. I get some kind of error message. Good thing I got the backup.

There is one difference between my xorg,conf and the one described in the instructions:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
EndSection

So it says nv instead of nvidia under driver. Can this be the cause of my problem?

Yes, of course that's the problem. It means that you haven't installed the nvidia proprietary driver. Please follow my guide about the installing the driver.

[Jonas_Henricsson]

Yes, of course that's the problem. It means that you haven't installed the nvidia proprietary driver. Please follow my guide about the installing the driver.

Oh. Well, I just tried installing the drivers using Automatix and it caused an error I've been having problems with for quite some time. After I installed the drivers, I couldn't even get into X before the computer got hung up. But that's probably some kind of hardware error with my graphics card and I probably shouldn't fiddle too much with it... It's actually the reason why I left windows for Ubuntu :)

Thanks for the help!

(EE) NVIDIA(1): No modes remaining for display device TV-0
Perhaps your Tv doesn't support the resolution you set. Try a lower resolution in your xorg.conf (only for your tv)

[Lotherian]

Hi there!

Thanks for an excellt guide! It worked flawless! :-D

The only trouble I have is that the TV is in the other end of my room and my eyes are not eaglesharp! So can you point me to a (hopefully excellent) guide that instead of 2 diffrent work areas makes a clone of my desktop on the tv?

Keep up the good work!

Use the search function and look for Nvidia Twinview (which is a method alternative to mine)

[Jose Catre-Vandis]

Oh, I have tried everything, having read all 17 pages, am nearly there but not quite.

I get flickering horizontal lines on my TV, you know, like a slightly out of tune TV station

TV is a Panasonic TX 36 PL30, and behaves the same if the refresh scan mode is set to progressive or 100mhz

Cable OK, as can see text on boot and when not in X

PC is a Shuttle SN41G2, which has 2 x VGA heads and an SVIDEO out (this might be causing a problem?)

log shows problems with EDID, but tried the option and this did funny screen things to my desktop. Apart from this the CRT has been rock solid in terms of display.

Attached are xorg.conf and xorg.0.log in 2 halves

9876

9877

9878

If it helps I also tried Twinview, this gave me a steady vertical picture, but skewed and in triplicate across the screen

Since you say that also Twinview doesn't work I'm lead to think that is a hardware incompatibility (which perhaps can be solved).

Therefore I suggest you to start a new thread on the Unofficial Nvidia Forums (the Nvidia staff will help you there):

The only thing I think it could be is that i copied the vertrefresh and horizsync settings out of the guide because i could not find any for my monitor. But somehow i don't think that is the problem.
Ideas anyone????

Can you remove the space between "Screen" and "[0]" (do the same for the lines quoted below)
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen [0]"
Device "Device [0]"
Monitor "Monitor [0]"

Then restart the xserver (or even better, unplug the cable and reboot)

[caish5]

Thanks a lot. I removed the spaces and all is good.
Allthough is there a way you can drag applications from one screen to another?

I really wouldn't know. Perhaps with Twinview you can do that

[technophreak]

I followed this guide exactly, but now when I boot Ubuntu, I get an error saying that X System couldnt start. How can I restore my default xorg.conf file so I can at least login?

Thanks

and then reboot by typing:

Hi,
I'm new to Ubuntu. I've been playing around with it for about a month now. Trying to get it working the way i want.

I've come accross a problem with my displays though.

I have an NVIDIA FX 5600 Graphics card (256 MB) with two Two Monitors capability.

I have followed the HOWTO: NVIDIA TV-OUT Guide and with no luck.

I've correctly installed the latest nvidia drivers (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762)

I can't seem to get my TV display working.

Here's a copy of my xorg.conf file.

Since you say that also Twinview doesn't work I'm lead to think that is a hardware incompatibility (which perhaps can be solved).

Therefore I suggest you to start a new thread on the Unofficial Nvidia Forums (the Nvidia staff will help you there):
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14


Thought I would report back, on success, although it was with Twinview rather than your way! Found a config file used by someone on another distro, specifically for an SN41G2. Oddly, the way to do it was to remove all the configuration you might think would be needed. No need to indicate horiz and vert refresh rates, TV Standards or Output Format. Using an SVideo lead the picutre is crystal clear. Will try a similar config with your setup to see if that works too. I know this isn;t a Twinview place, but here is the xorg.conf I found that sorted my problem, hope it helps others:

btw, this works perfectly whether I have both the vga and svideo outputs connected or either/or, and you can see everything from boot through to login etc

Remember not to boot (EVER) with the TV-OUT calbe plugged in.


why?

perchè?

Otherwise it might not work. (I didn't write the drivers so I can't give you a technical answer)

mine works ;)

I feared it could damage the tv

[deus777]

I am having problems getting TV-Out working. I am on a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop, which has an Nvidia 4 Go 440 in it. I installed the NVidia drivers using EasyUbuntu and nvtv using Synaptic. I am running Breezy and am up-to-date. Here is my original xorg.conf: 10592

I tried to follow TSEliot's instructions and ended up with the following xorg.conf:10593

When I boot with this xorg.conf, I get a black screen on my laptop with a pointer. I can move the pointer to the right and onto another "screen" which appears on my laptop screen and the pointer changes to an X cursor. The TV acts as if it is getting no signal. The composite cable is plugged in and the TV is on the right input setting at the time Ubuntu boots.

I tried to follow elsupermang's instructions on a fresh copy of my xorg.conf and ended up with the following xorg.conf:10594

When I boot with this xorg.conf, I can log into Ubuntu, but I still don't get anything on the TV.

Can anyone help me get this working? Thanks in adavance for any help. :)

P.S. Please don't ask me to upgrade to Dapper because I tried with RC a few days before release and I couldn't even boot into X.

[axm]

I am trying (for two days now) to figure out, how to get the tv-out running. I failed and I am desperate for some help. This post has gotten a bit long, sorry.



Needing: use of TV-out, does not matter how in the first place, Situation:

-ubuntu 5.10

-nvidia GeForce 3 Ti 200

-Mini DIN S-Video / Scart Connection to TV

-TV: Grundig MW 82-100 (16:9 but also 4:3 capable and "recognizes" a 4:3 "no-"signal;

has a VGA in (I cannot use that one due to no second vga out), that specifies

640x480@60Hz, 31.5hf, 60vf and understands as well some PALs as NTSCs.)

-running perfectly in this configuration under Win XP (switch view, not dual)



1) Firstly, I tried this howto. But after some doubts, if my graphics card can handle two screens at the same time (no TwinView support as for nvtv needed, I am still not sure if X11 can do that anyway, would be great), I tried this one:



2) http://www.iofcea.de/cgi-bin/seite.pl?file=linuxtvout



..which goes for switching between two Xservers. Did not help either.



3) Then I tried to get the TV running as a single monitor like someone implicitely suggested in the "tv-out for newbies"-thread. But that did not work again, so I am assuming it is the configuration for the TV that is wrong.



Outcome: A blink on the TV every startup, then nothing. I cannot move the mouse cursor to the next screen, but I do not know if that should happen without TwinView. So far the big picture, now the errors.

_____



1) I constantly get this one while trying to load two screens:



(II) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s): CRT-0, TV-0

(WW) NVIDIA(0): Multiple displays connected, but only one display allowed

(WW) NVIDIA(0): using first display



Hence my thoughts about my graphics card not beeing able to do this, but I do really not know that. After all, I have seen this warning sometimes in error logs on the web, but it was not mentioned as a source of problems at all.


The real bugger should be:

(II) NVIDIA(1): Using ConnectedMonitor string "TV-0"
(EE) NVIDIA(1): The requested configuration of display devices is not
(EE) NVIDIA(1): supported in the hardware.



http://forum.michaxm.de/tv-out/xorg.conf.backup-dualscreen

2) For the switching method: Starts up perfectly (no Errors, no Warnings apart from APM or some missing fonts(?)), but does not switch to TV (becoming black and returning):



>sudo X -screen screen1 :1 -ac & sleep 2; DISPLAY=:1 totem && kill `ps aux | awk '/X\ -screen/ {print $2}' `



(EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device CRT-0

(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:

no screens found
[...Exit 1]
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display

Again, I think that could hint to the tv configuration.

3) This is where it went really frustating. I removed the crt in the server layout of 1), only the tv remaining:

Screen 0 "screen1"
#Screen 1 "screen1" RightOf "screen0"

I paranoidly also tried commenting the crt monitor/device/screen sections and
renamed the tv sections from 1 to 0, with the same result:


(WW) NVIDIA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found
...
(EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
...

...resulting in a startup without X. So either there must be something wrong with the TV-config or it is not possible for linux to use a TV but no CRT, which I doubt. The TV is capable of at least 640x480 and should also be capable of standard freqencies.

http://forum.michaxm.de/tv-out/xorg.conf.backup-tvonly
http://forum.michaxm.de/tv-out/Xorg.0.log-tvonly

I also rebooted with the tv-out cable unplugged, but no change except that the TV was not automatically recognized anymore. I hope someone has an idea, would be staggering to boot Windows just for that. Thanks in advance.

PS: Would be at least good to know:
a) apart from my problem: if it is possible to dual screen without a TwinView capable card
b) if the analysis (tv-configuration is the problem) should be correct

[tseliot]

I am trying (for two days now) to figure out, how to get the tv-out running. I failed and I am desperate for some help. This post has gotten a bit long, sorry.
1) Did you install the Nvidia driver?
2) If so, which version of the driver are you using?

I warn you that driver 8762 might cause you problems with TV-OUT (I use 8756)

[axm]

1) Did you install the Nvidia driver?

Yes, of course I installed nvidia drivers, but I have to be slapped for not thinking about bad versions. apt get gave me 1.0.7667-0ubuntu25.1, after your post I tried 1.0.7174-0ubuntu25.1 (legacy drivers) which changed nothing and now I have the 8756 from nvidia installed. That makes no visible difference, but one in the logs:


(WW) NVIDIA(0): No size information available in CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute
(WW) NVIDIA(0): DPI from EDID.
(I assume that means nothing important since device 0 is fine)
...
(WW) NVIDIA(1): There are only 1 CRTCs available, trimming display device list
(WW) NVIDIA(1): from "TV-0" to "".
(II) NVIDIA(1): Assigned Display Device:
(WW) NVIDIA(1):
(WW) NVIDIA(1): No modes were requested; the default mode "nvidia-auto-select"
(WW) NVIDIA(1): will be used as the requested mode.
(WW) NVIDIA(1):
(WW) NVIDIA(1): No valid modes for "nvidia-auto-select"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(1):
(WW) NVIDIA(1): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode
(WW) NVIDIA(1): "nvidia-auto-select".
(WW) NVIDIA(1):
(WW) NVIDIA(1): No valid modes for "nvidia-auto-select"; removing.
(EE) NVIDIA(1): Unable to use default mode "nvidia-auto-select".

Again, I suspect the TV configuration, I did a little bit trial-and-error (achieving nothing) and at the moment I ended up with:

HorizSync 30 - 50
VertRefresh 40 - 60

and
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

I have the NVidia driver installed but I don't know which version it is. Is there a command I can run to find out what version I have installed?

[tseliot]

I have the NVidia driver installed but I don't know which version it is. Is there a command I can run to find out what version I have installed?
dmesg | grep NVIDIA

[tseliot]

Guys, I suggest you to ask for help on the Unofficial Nvidia Forums (Nvidia's staff will help you there):
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14&page=2&order=desc

[tseliot]

UPDATE: I have solved the problem with TV-OUT and driver 8762 (with my card, I'm not sure if it works for you).

Get to the Screen Section regarding your TV in your xorg.conf and set the refresh rate of your TV just like in the example below:

Section "Screen"
Device "Device[1]"
Identifier "Screen[1]"
Monitor "Monitor[1]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768_60"
EndSubSection
EndSection

The word in red is the refresh rate.

NOTE if your TV does not support a refresh rate of 60Hz you might want to set this line "Modes "1024x768_60"" as "Modes "1024x768_50"" in order to set the refresh rate to 50Hz

Hi,

I've been trawling through to find an answer to my question...sorry if this is a repeat question...

I want to set up multiple clones from my laptop:

RGB-out for my projector
SVIDEO out for my TV

Or as a second option, to have the RGB as clone, and SVIDEO as a second screen (can that be done with ~ "LCD Screen Clone RGB leftof SVIDEO"?)

Can anyone help me do this, please? I can't find a thorough guide on how to add devices and specify where they are.

Thanks

You should look for the guide about Twinview

Yeah - that's how I ended up here! Never mind.

hi guys ive been trying to get tv out workingfor several days and finally got it working except that i can only see the top left quarter of the screen. Can anyone tell me how to change the picture size on the tv out? ive got a GeForce 5700and connect to my tv via a SVIDEO and scart adapter. the strange thing is that the picture is perfect all the way through booting its only once the nvidia logo screen comes up that it doesnt fit on the tv anymore.

Thanks tseliot! I got my geforce4 mx 4000 to work under dapper. I'm pleased. My first attempt failed (I didn't copy and paste) but then I tried rewriting the xorg.conf one step at a time. First I changed all the names and stayed with the one crt, and when that worked I added the tv.

[NaughtyusMaximus]

I've been able to this to work as described on page 1 with my computer (dapper), but I want to do something else and can't figure it out on my own.

I've plugged two keyboards and two mice into my computer. So what I want is for screen[0] (CRT) to use mouse[0] and keyboard[0], and screen[1] (TV) to use mouse[1] and keyboard[1]

I know this must be possible, but I'm at a loss for how to do it.

Set the refresh rate of your monitor in the part in red. For example if you want to use a 60Hz Refresh rate you have to write "_60" ("_75" for 75Hz and so on).

Then restart the xserver.

Remove XGL

[Mguel]

Thanks for the How-to!

It worked fine on Kubuntu dapper 6.06 using geforce2 mx 400

I'm using a servicemenu to run videos on tv with kaffeine, I post it in case someone find it useful:

[Desktop Action PlayOnTV]
Exec=kaffeine -f -display :0.1 %F
Icon=kaffeine-play
Name=Play on TV

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=PlayOnTV
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=kaffeine-play
ServiceTypes=video/*
I also commented the positioning of the second screen (RightOf or Below) so the mouse doesn't go of my crt screen since I only use tv out for movies which I start with the servicemenu I posted, and because before doing this sometimes apps opened on my TV (while working on the CRT what was a bit disturbing) [edit: sometimes when pressing alt+F2 the run command prompt still appears on the TV]

I haven't been able to do 2 things:

1.- preventing the kicker from the tv display from starting (I can kill it manually once started)

2.- change focus from the TV to the CRT. Once I launch movies they have focus, but if I do something on the screen (click a window for instance) I can't get focus back to the TV so I can for example pause the movie. A workaround would be a way to make mouse "jump" from one screen to the other

Thanks,
Mguel

Hi! I tested this HOW-TO, and I got a picture in TV, but it is black and white. I attached my Xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log here. I'm Living in Finland so I use PAL-B. My TV is LG Flatron and its 2-3 years old. My Graphic Card is NVIDIA PALIT GF 5200. TV-OUT connector is SVIDEO, but I have tested this with Composite cable too. If I try change Option "TVOutFormat" to RGB, its still Black and white like with SVIDEO. If I use COMPOSITE, there is no picture in TV at all.

Try with a different cable

[Upuntu]

Try with a different cable
I've got only one this long cable, but I have tested both cables with DVD Player, and they worked perfektly. So that's not the problem.

I quote these posts which might be of help (they refer to your TV):

Sorted the pc and main telly. As I said before it was there and colour but with really bad picture quality. It was originally in scart socket AV1, if I changed it to AV2 the picture quality was perfect but black and white again, but by accident I found that when chosing AV2 I could also chose AV2S which gave picture quality and colour. I've no idea what the S stands for and what the differences between AV1, AV2 and AV2S are but I now have a nice clear picture in colour.

I've found the hidden menu option to get it to use AV-S rather than plain old AV. I've now got perfect quality output running on my tv. I've just got to find a way to get the tv save the setting.

Thanks for you, but I just got one A/V channel and one Scart socket. So that didn't help me...

[3togo]

Same to me....

if I set
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
=> no TV out

if I disable this Option by putting a "#" like this
#Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"

I got a twinviews with greyed TV-out (no color).

Hi,
I'm just trying to get the X11 to do TV-out (no regular monitor) and I can't seem to get it to even do that. From everything I've read, my configuration should work, but doesn't. The only thing I can think of is that the card is a GeForce2 (roughly 5 years old) so maybe the nvidia drives don't play nicely with it. TV-out works fine under windows, but I'd much rather run Linux. Can someone take a look at my xorg.conf/log and see if I've overlooked something? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm just trying to get the X11 to do TV-out (no regular monitor) and I can't seem to get it to even do that. From everything I've read, my configuration should work, but doesn't. The only thing I can think of is that the card is a GeForce2 (roughly 5 years old) so maybe the nvidia drives don't play nicely with it. TV-out works fine under windows, but I'd much rather run Linux. Can someone take a look at my xorg.conf/log and see if I've overlooked something? Thanks.
Why don't you read my guide?

[dhega]

Hello, i have tried your guide all day now but i do not get any picture on my tv :(

I will post my xorg config and maybe someone can see what i have done wrong

I have a PCI-E 6800GS card btw.!
