[Openchrome-users] Xorg.conf TV out

[James A R Brown]

Hi Xavier,

I have a feeling the display comes up, (I can view via VNC fine), but my
TV is a blank screen. I 100% can't remember, but maybe once I got a 30mm
vertical band on the RHS of the display the desktop showing and rest
black. 

The only real difference my untrained eye can see in the xorg logs is
this line in the working setup

[510563.237] (II) CHROME(0): ViaDisplayEnableCRT 

But to confirm 100% there is nothing in the VGA socket, only s-video is
attached to my TV scart socket.

James
