-====== XServer with TV-Out ======
-The Machine has a nVidia GeForce2 Ti. The card is conncted through a SVideo <-> Scart Cable with the TV. There is no Monitor connected. On boot the card automatically switches to the TV for displaying the console output.
-===== X-Setup =====
-We're running Xorg from the current Debian Testing distribution with nVidia's lates propritary driver. For the GeForce2 it the "Legacy Driver" 7184.
-  # wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7184/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7184-pkg1.run
-  # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7184-pkg1.run
-Put the nvidia module into ''/etc/modules'' then modify the xorg config.
-The important parts of ''/etc/X11/xorg.conf'' look like the following.
-<file>
-Section "Device"
-        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
-        Driver          "nvidia"
-        Option          "NoLogo"                "true"
-        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
-EndSection
-Section "Monitor"
-        Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
-        HorizSync       30.0 - 80.0
-        VertRefresh     50.0 - 75.0

-Section "Screen"
-        Identifier      "Default Screen"
-        Device          "Generic Video Card"

-===== Forcing TV-Out =====
-Unfortunately the TV screen stays black after starting the X-Server for a unknown reason. The trick is to reenable the TV-Output using the [[man>nvtv]] tool:
-  # apt-get install nvtv
-Then use the following command to enable the TV output:
-  #> /usr/bin/nvtv -t -r 800,600 -s Small
-===== Automating everything =====
-I'm using mythtv as frontend and want to hav it start autmatically after booting the server.
-For automatic X starting and login just install [[man>gdm]] give the default user in the "Security" tab of the configuration screen. Or when this doesn't work for you (it didn't for me) put the following in your ''/etc/gdm/gdm.conf'':
-<file>
-[daemon]
-AutomaticLoginEnable=true
-AutomaticLogin=mythtv
-</file>
-Where ''mythtv'' is the user to automatically login.
-All automatic startup stuff will go into this users's ''~/.xsession''
-<file>
-/usr/bin/nvtv -t -r 800,600 -s Small
-mythfrontend
-</file>
