[MPlayer-users] Matrox G400 TV out problem

[Jay Graves]

Thanks
I assume the modes you posted go in the /etc/fb.modes file.  I backed up
my old fb.modes file and then created a new on with just those two modes
in it.  However I do not see any difference when I turn on the TV out.
Is there some way I have to specify which mode to use?

Thanks again
