OK, I think the computer elfs were at work last night. I had messed
with this until about 1AM, decided to get some sleep, then woke up,
grabbed some coffee, and turned the computer back on. The TV *immediately*
started showing POST, just like it was on the monitor! The only thing
that had changed was I had some sleep?

OK, now I'm getting text output, sorta fuzzy, but output on the TV. When
X11 starts up, the monitor shows normal output, the TV just has wide
vertical graphic stripes.

If twinview isnt' the best way to do this, what is? This isn't configured
for twinview at the moment. I've looked at 5 or 6 explanations and examples
on the net, and none of them match, and, until now, nothing worked.
