TV Out Question

[David Foster]

I am using a GForce MX440 card with Warty for a MythTV box and have had 
very good luck with the following XF86Config-4 file
--------- snip after the Files secition  -----------------------------------

I only use one monitor and it has been working ok. The only thing I 
would like to correct is the color saturation is a bit intense.
