Re: [SLE] Nvidia / AV Out Not Center

And, honestly, from all your previous SLE posts, my impression was you'd
probably be able to help a great deal with interpreting which of those
settings apply to Shawn's setup.

Automation is a good thing overall, but usually has some overlap of not
letting custom settings shut off the automation at first. The latest
drivers from nVidia seem to do the EDID corretly now for the widescreen.

This is precisely the kind of help I think Shawn needs right now. We both
saw
that (WW) warning but *you* knew how to silence it. Now, all that's left to
be done is refine the xorg.conf to support the two displays... not even
simultaneously.


I haven't played with the TV/Out of my nvidia on my laptop (yet)....

So the Composite stuff and others that you were discussing up to the point I
jumped in is still unfamilliar territory.

I'm happy to help any way that I can, as long as I think it is actually
helpfull. I'd be happy to try some tests on my laptop if it may help, and
time allowing of course.

I'd like to be able to use the TV out on my laptop too.


hehehe


And in looking through this README.txt, there seems to be allot more options
than the last time I checked into anything. There was that one other setting
that had to do with forcing the driver to properly detect that it was on a
laptop with LCD. That was a few drivers ago though, and lately everything
has been working, right out of the box. I was really impressed when I got a
new ASUS SLE MB for an amd_64 server, and the nVidia driver went on and just
worked. Those guys (nVidia) get my vote for sure!


Let's hope Shawn finds more usefull messages to further narrow down the
problem.
