For connecting to a PAL tv you will need to set the card to PAL encoding. NTSC is not the same.Hello, I have a TV. It's a old, 1991 bought Philips, 15` and thats all I know about it. However it is PAL TV, and it uses composite plug to connect it to antenna. (I am not sure what PAL it is...) And then I have this nVidia Geforce 2 GTS (from ASUS, model v7700Pro) and it supports dual screen thought it's connectors (VGA, S-video, Composite). I connected it with my old good C=64 TV-cable (composite) to that Philips. Then I downloaded NV-TV from net and tried to set up gnome screen to that tv, but nothing happened. I tried various configs and that was no good. (And of course I tried to adjust TV too to find channel.)
Then I booted to WindowsXP Pro, :). And tried samething there. it didn't either. I still got just black and white in that TV. And plus, In windows I couldn't get dual screen, like in Linux. Then I donwloaded program that can edit nVidia Geforce BIOS and tooked a look what is the encoding standard set. it was in NTSC. However I didn't changed it.
In general, Europe uses PAL and most other places use NTSC for television.
So before I'll do something stypid I wrote here to ask were I am doing wrong. And what will happen if I change in GeForce BIOS that NTSC to PAL. Or do I need a newer cable for connecting that tv to computer.
If someone can help me I would be very very happy. That's because I could watch DVD movies without buying DVD player or newer TV. :) And of course for playing quakeworld from my bed. My eyes won't stress so much.
Thanks
