Hi! I've been using various Ubuntu distros along XP, never used any of them more than a week or two, but with Feisty, I've finally decided to start using only Ubuntu.
I've got a problem with tv-out on my Asus 6800gt 128mb agp (v9999gt). I've installed drivers through synaptic and everything works perfectly until I tried to enable tv-out. I have my tv connected to s-video port on my card, and I used nvidia-settings to enable tv as second screen(option: separate x-screen). I applied and saved changes to xorg.conf which then looked like this:
Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder3) Thu Nov 9 17:56:12 PST 2006

When I restarted, x wouldn't start, giving this announcement:
Code:
(EE)NVIDIA(1): Unable to initialize the X Int10 module; the console may not be restored on your TV.
(EE)The requested configuration of display devices is not supported in the hardware.
Fatal server error: Add screen/ScreenInit failed for driver0
Please, could someone help me, 'cause this one really bugs me, and Ubuntu is loosing points when it comes to usability (using tv as second screen on XP worked just fine).
