How to set TV-out options under Linux of an Geforce 9600 GT video card
- by polemon
I'm using the TV-out connector of my Geforce 9600 GT to connect it to an old TV set.
It's obviously in Composite mode, the other two cables of Component video are dead, only Pb/VIDEO labeled one gives me a signal.
The picture appears black/white on the TV, I presume it's because the video card gives me an NTSC signal, but it's a PAL tv set.
How do I change the TV-out from NTSC to PAL?
My Component to SCART adapter hasn't arrived yet, but I think I should be able to set manually, whether the signal should be Composite or Component.
How do I switch modes of the TV-out, between Component and Composite?
I'm running Linux, so it's probably some settings I need to make in xorg.conf.
Edit:
I got this far:
I need to set in the "Device" section of my xorg.conf:
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
The whole section looks like this now:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 9600 GT"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
EndSection
How can I list all available settings for "TVStandard" and "TVOutFormat"?
