We werden op de hoogte gebracht door vandenberg over versie 0.4.2 van nvtv. Dit programma voor Linux is bedoeld om de TV-Out functie op nVidia videokaarten te activeren, net zoals TVTool voor het windows-platform. Dit programma bevindt zich nog steeds in de alpha fase, de release notes laat ons het volgende weten:
This release includes GTK 2.0 support, a few new modes, and some bugfixes. Also, I had the chance to work on a GeForce2 GO for one day, and got nvtv working in connection with TwinView. I haven't tried nvtv stand alone. There are also some changes that make it more likely nvtv will work on a GeForce4 (couldn't test these, of course).
Changes:[break]De volgende twee downloads zijn beschikbaar:
- BT PAL 768x576 Huge mode, thanks to Henrik Harmsen
- Generic NV architecture from bootmask.
- Bugfix: Scan higher numbered I2C busses first, and don't look for opt_tv_chip in gui_device_init if it is TV_NO_CHIP. This will avoid TV encoder chips which are on the EDID channel of a TV card.
- Now also GTK 2.0 supported (GTK 1.2 still available). Thanks to Adrian Reber
- Attempt to get GeForce2 Go working.
- Double scan.
- Extra CRTC bits for NV11+, NV17+.
