Hardware/Nvidia

Download the latest nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com make sure your system doesn't have X running and execute the installer. The installer will ask you some simple questions and then install the driver, if this installation fails then the nvidia linux forums normally have a solution to the problem. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14

Edit your /etc/X11/( XF86Config | xorg.conf ) and in the Device section set the following;

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "nVidia"
        Option      "TVStandard" "PAL-I"
        Option      "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
        Option      "NoLogo" "True"
        Option      "RenderAccel" "True"
        BoardName   "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200"
EndSection

That should now start in TV-Out mode aslong as your resolution is set to 800x600 (or other TV Out capable display modes??)

Also for Side Band Addressing and Fast Writes add the following to your /etc/( modules.conf | modprobe.conf )

options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
