I'm setting up LMCE on a box with a nVidia 6200 graphics card. It seemed to install fine, said it found an nVidia card and I said 'yes' to using the nVidia drivers. My card is driving a 65" Mitsu via Component cable (no DVI/HDMI on this set). When it boots up, and goes into the AVwizard, I have a black screen, so I hit the key to switch to "component" and I see the AV setup screen, great! Now the problem comes in. It doesn't matter what resolution I select, it flickers a bunch, then goes black, then comes back up to the AV setup screen. I can't get past it.

Have you adjusted the frequency too?
My 32" LCD only likes higher refresh frequencies.

where do you adjust the frequency? is that what the 3rd box in the avwizard is supposed to be? When Component is used, there is nothing in that 3rd box.
-
ok maybe, not applicable for component input?
Mine is using VGA.
how about setting the freq when on another mode then change to component after using the web admin?
-
NTSC/PAL
Just a wild guess?

I've read the AVWizard wiki page before, but it doesn't address the issue I have.
This is an NTSC set - it has a VGA port, but that port is limited to 640/480. I am connecting with component, and the set is capable of 1080i resolution.

Actually I had a very similar problem. Try my suggestions at http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2075.0 (http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2075.0). Also, if that doesn't work can you please post the log file. Try running StartX and look at it's output when/if it crashes.
