[LINUX] Apple TV Color output to composite, linux
#1
Hi everyone!
Still using composite waiting for my HDTV Smile
I have a rca to scart converter, basically it has the yellow, red and white rca connectors on one side and the scart on the other side. I used this converter in the past. I connect the yellow rca to the green connector on the apple tv. I'm using the xorg.conf on the atv-bootloader page, but I only get black and white imegaes on screen... Sad
Anyone has a similar situation and wants to share his/her xorg.conf?
After several attempts I'm starting to doubt about the capability of doing this, but it should be possible on linux without strange hacks...

Thanks!

EndSection

    Load           "glx"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Configured Video Device"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    Option "RegistryDwords" "RMDisableRenderToSysmem=1"
    Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "Configured Video Device"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "NoLogo" "True"
    Option         "SWCursor" "on"
    Option         "HWCursor" "off"
    Option         "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"

    Option       "TVOverScan" "1.0"
    SubSection     "Display"

whoaaa! The solution was in this single line:
Code:
Option         "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
to be modified in:
Code:
Option         "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Thanks, you gave me the right hint talking about your ntsc tv!
(I know, I should have noticed that line before...)
