[gentoo-user] Tv out stopped working!

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Hi,

i have configured tv-out some time ago. It worked fine, but now it 
doesn't anymore.

Normally i activate tv-out by opening a new screen with

X -screen Screen1 :1 -ac & sleep 2; DISPLAY=:1 xterm

Now the tv gaves a short flicker and the picture which appears normally 
on my tv shows up on my monitor.

The keys CTRL-ALT-F7 / F7 for switching between monitor and tv doesn't 
work too

I have tested nvtv and it worked i got the picture on my tv, but i am 
not satisfied with nvtv (seems to me that it doesn't work correct -> 
only a part of the picture is displayed) so i want do do it the other way.

Has anybody out there some experience with tv-out?

Thank you for your help!

Daniel
