What I do get is black and > white lines flickering quite fast. You probably have to make sure your refresh rate in X is set to something your TV can use (50Hz is the PAL refresh rate, I think?) . You'll have to edit the "Monitor" section of the XF86Config. Try HorizSync 30-50, VertRefresh 50. Note that this will make for very flickery viewing on your PC monitor, if it even syncs at all. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
