[mythtv-users] some things with nvidia cards

[Drew Whittle]

Hehe funny you should bring this up, I've been playing with my NV setup
tonight, haven't tried what you have done yet, but this is what I have
(Dev Setup):

GeForce 4 MX 420 w/ TV Out..

The Setup:

21 Inch Monitor for programming etc running in 24bit 1600x1200 and down
14 Inch TV for MythTV running in 16bit 800x600 and 640x480

Independent Screens so Video Overlay, GL etc work on the second head.

The only issues I have at the moment are that the TV must have had the
focus to be able to do anything, I suspect once I set up my remote and
fire it up from the TV screen it will send the events to the current
window only on that screen (not sure about that though)

The other issue is that you must be logged in to the Monitor to make it
work (They share a xdm), I'm not sure if I can work around this or not.

Seriously though, these are the relevant bits of my XF86Config file:
