GForce 4 Video Out and In help?

[Matthew Carpenter]

I just purchased the GF4Ti4200 with my new machine (which I'm most pleased with)

I'd like some input on tricks to get this sucker working the best.  I knew it had video out.  Video In was a bonus I didn't expect (if only it works).

Video Out shows up my boot to the TV...  But as soon as X starts, the TV becomes an Orange mess of lines.  I've tried changing modes (CTRL-ALT-+) but all that I see is some rearranging of what little black is left on the TV.  This is inconvenient.  Obviously it'd make me the happiest if this would be viewable even when I'm at 1280x1024 (I like to live there most the time) but I'd settle for 640x480.  (Note:  SuSE includes this great little tool which lets you set your resolution on the fly... very nice indeed)  I also wouldn't complain if the TV could be set up as an extension of my desktop, not a clone.  I've seen the nvtv utility and plays just a little.  No luck other than killing the feed to my CRT.
Yes, I'm using GLX and the NVidia accelerated driver.  DRI is another question I'm not sure of.

Video In I haven't tried much with yet.  All I know is that SuSE didn't detect it so it's probably not one of the BTTV chipset.  The manual calls is WDM or something or other.  Anyone have any luck with this one?   I remember reading recently on this list that someone said they'd stick with NVidia for all of their video capture needs.  I'd love to as well, since my other option is to migrate my ATI TVWonder VE card (Walmart: $45) from my old machine to this one.  Not elegant, but doable, and it's a BTTV chipset.

Thanks in advance.  I know from experience that you have more knowledge and experience than I could imagine.
