Folk,

I've connected the composite video output from a Compaq Armada e500
to a Panasonic flat TV. The display on the TV works for the COMPAQ
logo, the BIOS, and the console startup messages. When X takes over,
the TV appears to lose sync. Nothing helpful is evident in the BIOS
of the Armada. I can hunt for the manual for the TV.

Any ideas on finding a resolution and refresh rate in X that will
give the TV an acceptable signal? Another setting in X? Is a sync
adjustment in the menu of the Panasonic likely to solve it? Is a
trim pot. in the Panasonic likely to need adjusting?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

You should know the drill: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf at a
minimum
