Hi All<br><br>I just built a new computer that I'm hoping to use as a media center. I am having trouble getting the video to display properly to my tv and have spent the past 4 days searching through forums and trying different settings. I am hoping it can be fixed with the right settings in my
xorg.conf file.<br><br>When I boot up with my LCD plugged in through VGA, everything is great.<br>When I boot up with my TV (a 27" Toshiba - nothing fancy) plugged in through component video, I get a resolution of 640x480 resulting in an inch of black up the left and right sides of my TV.
<br>If I remove the s-video to component video cable and connect the box to the TV using just S-Video, the video fills the screen, but it is in black and white.<br><br>So here's my current setup:<br>I have an Asus M2A-VM HDMI motherboard with onboard video (ATI Radeon X1250)
<br>It came with card that has video out, hdmi out, and component video out. The component out is really an s-video out with a cable that converts it into RGB.<br><br>I am running Ubuntu 7 (64 bit) because I thought it would be nice and lightweight for the job. I also tried Ubuntu 8 and Fedora 7 with similar results. I enabled restricted drivers and it is using an ATI accelerated graphics driver. I also tried manually installing the driver as per instructions on
<a href="http://wiki.cchtml.com">wiki.cchtml.com</a>. <br><br>When I type fglrxinfo, I get:<br>display: :0.0 screen: 0<br>OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.<br>OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 Series
<br>OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)<br><br>Any help would be hugely appreciated. <br>Thanks,<br>Lindy<br><br>If it helps, here's my xorg.conf file contents in it's current state (I keep trying options and reverting):
