Hi,
I'm trying to get the TV out from my GeForce FX5200 to work. I'd ideally
like it to be on at the same time as my flat screen and with my desktop
extended onto it. I've been searching around for some information, but
most of it seems quite out of date. I've got the proprietary Nvidia
drivers installed at the moment.
I've checked all this and got working under Windows, just need it to
work in Linux.
Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve this,
Much appreciated,
James Allsopp
I use the TV out to drive a component projector (with the dongle) for my
MythTV setup. For me, I either want the projector on (and the DFP off), or
vice versa so I use XRandR to switch between them. If you want both of them
on at the same time, replace the NULL values in the metamodes option with the
appropriate values.
