This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigB9E70356C74B0B73FDA59C77 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I like to watch movies and clips alot, so a 15.4" is not really and impressive or a great option, therefore, I wanted to be able to plug my laptop to the Samsung TV at home through an S-Video cable in order to watch the movies. However, I was not able to properly configure xorg.conf and I googled for S-Video and xorg but most of the results I found were Linux related (although I doubt it would make a big difference) but none worked with me. My xorg.conf is appended. If I connect my laptop to the TV while my X is running and fn+F5 my TV screen tries to display X but the screen keeps on flickering. I tried shutting down X, connecting and fn+F5 it works fine but after I start X again, it keeps on flickering :( Any help would be really appreciated :) Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "TV" RightOf "Card0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ae_fonts_mono" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ae_fonts1/AAHS" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ae_fonts1/AGA" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ae_fonts1/FS" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ae_fonts1/Kasr" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ae_fonts1/MCS" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kacst_fonts" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ae_fonts1/Shmookh" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz-fonts" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/" FontPath "/home/yraffah/fonts" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/cmpsfont/type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc101" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ar" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 330 210 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "CPT" ModelName "138a" # Modeline "1280x800" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "TV" HorizSync 30-50 VertRefresh 60 EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>] #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "Dac6Bit" # [<bool>] #Option "Dac8Bit" # [<bool>] #Option "BusType" # [<str>] #Option "CPPIOMode" # [<bool>] #Option "CPusecTimeout" # <i> #Option "AGPMode" # <i> #Option "AGPFastWrite" # [<bool>] #Option "AGPSize" # <i> #Option "GARTSize" # <i> #Option "RingSize" # <i> #Option "BufferSize" # <i> #Option "EnableDepthMoves" # [<bool>] #Option "EnablePageFlip" # [<bool>] #Option "NoBackBuffer" # [<bool>] #Option "PanelOff" # [<bool>] #Option "DDCMode" # [<bool>] #Option "MonitorLayout" # [<str>] #Option "IgnoreEDID" # [<bool>] #Option "UseFBDev" # [<bool>] #Option "VideoKey" # <i> #Option "MergedFB" # [<bool>] #Option "CRT2HSync" # [<str>] #Option "CRT2VRefresh" # [<str>] #Option "CRT2Position" # [<str>] #Option "MetaModes" # [<str>] #Option "MergedDPI" # [<str>] #Option "NoMergedXinerama" # [<bool>] #Option "MergedXineramaCRT2IsScreen0" # [<bool>] #Option "DisplayPriority" # [<str>] #Option "PanelSize" # [<str>] #Option "ForceMinDotClock" # <freq> #Option "RenderAccel" # [<bool>] #Option "SubPixelOrder" # [<str>] #Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>] #Option "DynamicClocks" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Unknown Board" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "DPMS" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "TV" Driver "ati" Option "MonitorLayout" "TV,LFP" Option "TVStandard" "PAL" Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "TV" Device "TV" Monitor "TV" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection --=20 Sincerely, Yousef Adnan Raffah The Savola Group ------------------- Aren't you using Firefox?
