Dear FreeBSD-Newbies, I'm trying to get my Nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000 based video card to work with X in outputting to my HDTV. I can run the configurator fine and the confugator and X.org logs mentioned @ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html show no problems but when I try to start X I don't get any output. Any suggestions/ideas. Output to the HDTV in text mode works fine and it works in graphical mode with MS-Win98 but I haven't had any luck with graphical output to the HDTV with X using X.org. Do you think I'd have an easier time getting this to work with XFree86 or am I likely to have the same issues as with Xorg? The HDTV is a 51" diag, 4/3 aspect ratio Apex model GBHD5109. I'd really like to get this working with X via either Xorg or XFree86 because it's fun to show off FreeBSD in grand style. I'm using the Intel build of v 5.3 Release. Thanks in advance for any help that comes my way.
