I recently installed FreeBSD 5 on machine with a geforce 4 and svideo
out. My intention is to use this machine as a HomeTheaterPC with
mplayer.
However, I cannot seem to get any output to the TV beyond the simple
shell. Note, I do NOT have a regular monitor hooked up to the machine,
nor do I want one.
I have the following sections defined in the XF86Config file. However,
I have no attachment to any particular setup, I just want mplayer to
show video and output sound.
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA
extension
EndSubSection
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "geforce4"
Driver "nv"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"

when I `startx` the TV shows what appears to be completely de-synced
video (narrow lines fluxing over the screen).
