TV-Out on the G450 and G550 is not supported under X11. Try to get a G400 DH if you need TV-Out. That's what I did. Go to the Matrox forum and complain there but be assured it won't help. They'll tell you that TV-Out under X is not supported on the G450 and G550 but they won't tell you why. W.r.t the G400 they are quite helpful. The Matrox driver for the G400 is really good. It supports two real screens :0.0 and :0.1 so I can use :0.1 as TV-Out screen with mplayer. Another possibility would be to check the TV-Out features of the new NVidia driver released recently. -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
