[ILUG] TV out with NVIDIA FX5700

[John P. Looney]

 Anyone got this working ?

 In the XF86Config, I have:

                                                                                                                          
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "TV"
        VendorName   "Sony"
        ModelName    "Wega 32 100Hz"
        HorizSync    30-50
        VertRefresh  55-65
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        Option      "TVStandard" "PAL-I"
        Option      "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "VESA driver (generic)"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "320x240" 
        EndSubSection
EndSection

 However, when I startX I get:

(WW) NVIDIA(0): The user specified VertRefresh "55.000-65.000" has been
(WW) NVIDIA(0):      adjusted to "56.000-65.000" (the intersection with

(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "512x384" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range)

 And loads of that sort of error. It looks like I've either got the sync
rates wrong, or I need to write my own mode lines.

 Ideally, I'd like a few high-res screens, if possible, as well as 640x480
800x600 stuff that would be good for games. Are there widescreen
"resolutions" ? Anyone managed this ?
