S/PDIF output in i81k with Nvidia GeForce 2 Go, and LCD problems.
Hi all,
before of all, i wish you a new happy year.
Too i may ask for to excuse for my very bad english.
Well, the problem, i'm trying to activate my s/pdif output in i81k for
attach it to a TV. I'm configured it following Nvidia instructions, but
doesn't run. I changed my XF86Config-4 in these mode:
Section "Monitor"
# Identificador Tele
Identifier "Television"
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60
EndSection
[....]
# **********************************************************************

VendorName "nvidia"
BoardName "GeForce2 Go"
Driver "nvidia"
# update this with the PCI id of your card. Consult the output
# of the 'lspci' command.
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
# I've found that option IgnoreEDID is not necessary
Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"
# AGP *seems* to work for me, so I've commented out the next line also.
#Some people seem to feel the need to
# turn it off and I'm not sure why. Anyone got any reasons?
# HBT: turned off AGP (was "3") as per l-d-l # 6912, that there is a
#conflict between it and APM.
Option "NvAgp" "0"

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
#Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
EndSection

EndSection

EndSection
Well, TV output is activated and i can see my linux in my TV, but the
problem is that i can't to change output format to PAL-G, TV format in
Spanish. Output is in NTSC-M format, by default, i see in log:
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NvAGP" "0"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinView"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "800x600;"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Forcing SVIDEO output
(**) NVIDIA(0): Use of AGP disabled per request
(**) NVIDIA(0): Ignoring EDIDs
(**) NVIDIA(0): ConnectedMonitor string: "TV"
(**) NVIDIA(0): TwinView enabled
[...]
(==) NVIDIA(0): Backing store disabled
(==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "TVStandar" is not used
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
I think that i changed all correctly, but i don't get desireed format
output. I try to activate option in differents sections with identical
results, i have lost.
Anybody can help me?
Other problem, lost days i have problems with my LCD. I have bios A12
from dell, well, when i work for many hours and i exit from my kde to
grafic login, LCD appears to change blank, but this is no totally of, i
can see X system with very very few brightness and colour. If i restart,
LCD follows in same way, and i can't see bios screen too. I think that
is a bios problem because in windows ME LCD follows same way but i don't
know certainly, anybody know?
I need to know, because guaranties finish next month, and if this is a
LCD problem... you know.
Well, i hope that you can understand my very poor english. If you need
more data for TV output problem, you say.
Thanks in advanced.
Salud y Revolución.
Lobo.
