Problem with Nvidia MX440 TV out

[d2_racing]

Hello, I have a special problem with the computer of my best friend.

I followed the walkthrough of stanton with Fedora Core 3, and since he has a Nvidia Mx440 I installed the nvidia driver without any problems.

http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_3_installation_notes.html

His video card have a TV out, so he likes to see his DVD in Windows XP on his 42 inch TV screen. In Windows XP, everything is fine.

But when he boots Fedora Core 3(from the boot time to the login screen in dos mode like), he has the output on his TV screen but when X Server start everything is gone and his TV screen turn to black.

So what can I do to make his video card display the gnome desktop and display his DVD on his TV screen.

Thanks you in advance.

P.S Sorry for my English....i'm french :confused:

You need a utility like yanc or manually edit your xorg.conf to allow for tv out

I found when I was reading the readme from NVIDIA.

So before doing that, can someone tell me if this code section will work ???

Section Device
Option "TwinView"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "<hsync range(s)>"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "<vrefresh range(s)>"
Option "MetaModes" "800x600, NULL; 640x480, NULL; 800x600,800x600"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
