I tried those options in the xorg.conf file, but it made no difference, I am still left with just a black and white output on the TV. I also tried Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE" but that did not help either. David David King wrote: > Thanks piskie, I only found > Option "TV Format" "PAL

Thanks piskie, I only found Option "TV Format" "PAL-I" when I searched on Google and tried that, but it did not work. I will try your suggestion and see if that works. David piskie wrote: > >From memory only and a quick look I believe I added similar to this into > xorg in the device section >
