Help needed about Xorg.

Hi guys.

I'm became really confused about this xorg.
I would like to get my videocard working 100%

I'm about to build a Mediecenter, and got and hauppaugePVR 500 - But that's only for recording the TV ??? or is it also for wieving tv?
I have also a normal graphiccard with S-video out on. Wich one of these shold be connected to the TV. When I used the normal card - there's a lot of interference/stribes on the screen.

But is it made that you also use the Hauppauge to watch tv on?

And how do I configure xorg to handle the tv-out. I've look in other threads about this - but have not figured it out . Can someone please tell me more.

Re: Help needed about Xorg.

i think hauppauge is for viewing tv with recording in background.
I have not used it. But i heard, that there was a lot of interference in all PCs with more than one graphics card as in your case! Hope someone is out there who can help you out bettter

Normally I will say its just a really old (cheap) graphic card - But more is should I plug the graphic card out and only run on the Hauppauge - With i for viewing and on for recording

Maybe this xorg sample helps:
