Nothing came up on my monitor

According to this page, http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/AVWizard#What_to_do_if_A.2FV_Wizard_does_not_start, I can select 1, 2, etc to try the various connectors. What is strange is that I have my monitor connected to the VGA output. 1 doesn't work, 2 doesn't work, but 3 does work but according to the noted web page 3 is for 'Component' but I'm using VGA.  Is it possible that the web page is wrong and 3 really means VGA2?  Selecting VGA2 from the AVWizard works but selecting VGA does not.

It helps if you tell us what version and how you are installing.

I will take a guess that its 0810 beta, and suggest you run sudo nvidia-xconfig in a terminal then reboot.

I'm running 8.10 beta2 and installed it via DVD. Pressing 3 and then selecting VGA2 worked just fine but was inconsistent with the web page.  I opened the Nvidia X Server Settings tool and it shows that Nvidia driver is installed and functioning fine.

I'm using the following video card which is a newer than recommended but seems to be working fine. The OpenGL with alpha blending GUI looks great! I'm waiting for some cables to arrive so I can attach my TV to the system. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will go smoothly.

    MSI N210-MD512H GeForce 210 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Having only tried using LinuxMCE for the last 2 weeks, beta2 was a huge improvement over the first beta. I never actually got the first beta to do anything useful since video was a mess and there was no audio.  I have installed beta 2 a couple of times now from scratch just to make sure I was getting things set up correctly. MythTV is not being set up correctly. I spent a couple of hours this morning and I was finally able to get it working but I was hoping it just would work without any command line effort. It appears that kdesu doesn't exist.  I made a link to kdesudo for it and ran mythtv-setup to get things setup.  I'll probably reinstall from scratch and add the link before kicking off the linuxMCE install and see if everything just works.

Don't setup mythtv under kde, select mythsetup under the computing menu.

nvidia cards have always been buggy in how they treat the vga port. if you use a dvi->vga adapter on the dvi port, things usually just work as expected though.

Not so fast merkur!     I am using DVI with the update for beta21 and still seeing AVWizard problems. I'm going to wipe my xorg clean and do nvidia-xconfig before I try from scratch again.
