Dear FreeBSD-Newbies,

    I'm trying to get my Nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000
based video card to work with X in outputting to
my HDTV. I can run the configurator fine and the
confugator and X.org logs mentioned @
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html
show no problems but when I try to start X I
don't get any output.  Any suggestions/ideas.

Output to the HDTV in text mode works fine and it
works in graphical mode with MS-Win98 but I
haven't had any luck with graphical output to the
HDTV with X using X.org.

Do you think I'd have an easier time getting this
to work with XFree86 or am I likely to have the
same issues as with Xorg?

The HDTV is a 51" diag, 4/3 aspect ratio Apex
model GBHD5109.

I'd really like to get this working with X via
either Xorg or XFree86 because it's fun to show
off FreeBSD in grand style.

I'm using the Intel build of v 5.3 Release. 
Thanks in advance for any help that comes my way.

Dom
