[ale] Graphics card w/TV out

[James Sumners]

Oh, what is this?
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4349/README.txt

Is it the documentation for the card linked directly off the drivers page at
nvidia.com (http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_ia32_1.0-4349)? It
sure seems to be.

It also looks like '(app-j) Appendix J' details how to enable TV Out on nvidia
cards.

Sorry for the very thick sarcasm but the vendor site is usually the first, if
not second, place to look for information. My first reply was not meant in a
hostile way (and really this one is not either). I was just trying to goad
Splinter into using the resources provided which tell him how to do what he
wants in great detail. This howto illustrates my point:

All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological
personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the
corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a
condition to which they are quickly addicted.
