GeForce FX 5200 configuration

Does anyone have a Geforce FX 5200 or compatible with SVideo output
working? I have tried everything and it seems when I get it working
Mythfrontend just freezes during the menu drawing. Can someone that has
this working post the versions of the drivers / modules they are using
along with the modules.conf and XF86Config file? This same question goes
out to anyone that has a nVidia board with DVI and a DVI to Component
adapter.

Thanks,
James

I have one and had it working with no problems. You had to make sure you
had the drivers for the card., I had it working on my TV, I decided to use
my 350's TV Out instead and will be removing that card and replacing with a
cheapo video card on the weekend.

I will see if I still have the XF86Config file kicking around for that card
still..

Here's mine for use with the Nvidia Driver:

***** XF86Config for Redhat 9.0 *****
# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this
is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There
is normally
# no need to change the default.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are
concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server
independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"

Section "InputDevice"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg,
with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard,
modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a
non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock
and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
