I have tryed a long time to get a video singal out of my nVidia GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1) and finally it works.

I use a 10 meter S-VHS cable to my sony bravia 40″ 16:9 flat screen

here’s the lspci:

05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)

And here’s my xorg.conf:

Two lines are very important:

Option         “TVStandard” “PAL-B”
Option         “TVOutFormat” “SVIDEO”

If these options aren’t set the picture will flicker.

OK, now restart your X server and there should be a signal on the line.

Now the next question was how to get any application on tv out?

Here’s the answer:

DISPLAY=:0.1 ‘command’

for example:

DISPLAY=:0.1 vlc /home/user/video.mp4

hi guys!

As I heared from some users, the old theme couldn’t be shown correctly with some user agents.

So i decided to take another theme. I found this one out on the web and changed it a little bit

I hope this template fits better in your browser!

cheers, chaos

hi guys!

If your atheros chip can’t be detectet here’s a little howto enable it:

adding the repository:

 echo “deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse” >> /etc/apt/sources.list

now update aptitude and install the modules:

apt-get update && aptitude install linux-backports-modules-intrepid

last step is to add the modules to the startup:

echo “blacklist ath_pci” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

reboot and you’re done!

now your should look like this:

root@hades:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:”"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
