Hi,

I have a Chaintech GeForce 4 MX 440 NVidia graphics card with VGA and S-Video out.

Will the S-Video output work under Gentoo Linux ?

Ya, it should work, you just need to modify the device section for your card in XF86Config, something like this would work.

Code:
# Device configured by xf86config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "GeForce4 TI4200"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VideoRam    131072
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
        Option "CursorShadow" "true"
       Option "CursorShadowAlpha" "150"
       Option "CursorShadowXOffset" "4"
       Option "CursorShadowYOffset" "2"
   Option "NoLogo" "on"
   Option "TwinView"
   Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
   Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync"     "30-50"
        Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh"   "60"
        Option "MetaModes" "1152x864, 800x600 @800x800; 1024x768, 800x600; 800x600, 640x480"
        Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
EndSection


Where are you located at, Mexico? I would assume that NTSC-M would be the TV standard you'd want to use, but I'm not really sure if that's what you'd want to use, so double check what your TV uses.

Where would I find all of those options that you used to set this up? I'm pretty sure that there are other ones that would be usefull, is it somewhere on the XFree page?
