Hi everyone,
I am having some trouble getting S-Video to work with Xorg.
My first problem is I do not know where to start, I'm guessing
xorg.conf. When I plug the S-Video connection into a TV I get no picture
- Nothing at all(PAL, both TV and BIOS). I am using 6.0 - STABLE on my
Laptop (Radeon Mobility 9000) with Xorg and Window maker.
I have found some Linux forums using google and it seems that I need to
add options for S-Video. I do not understand which section of xorg to
put them under.
Here is an example of what I am finding;
Section "ServerLayout"
# Option "Xinerama" "on"
# Option "Clone" "on"
Identifier "TVLayout"
Screen 0 "Screentvd0" LeftOf "TV1"
Screen 1 "TV1" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection
This is just some of the xorg.conf files that people are posting on the
web. I am thinking that I need to add 'Screen' and 'Monitor' information
to my xorg.conf to get S-Video working. I am not sure where to start.
Below I have posted my xorg.conf
Thanks,
Caleb.
