[mythtv-users] xorg file for nvidia TV-Out

[Dewey Smolka]

Ooops. Wrong pdf. Wrong file entirely. I should really check things
more closely before I send them. Sorry about that.

This is the doc I wanted to post: 
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_readme_install.html  - the Nvidia
Accelerated Linux Driver.

The doc uses XF86, however, and I don't know how easily it translates
into xorg. My guess is that as long as all the card's functions are
working under xorg, configuring twinvew is just a matter af adding the
right options to xorg.conf.

This doc is on configuring twinview:

This is for the geforce 2 card, but I imagine the lines in xorg.conf
are pretty much the same for other nvidia cards that support twinview.
If you can get both screens running one at a time, you should be able
to do them both at once, and at different resolutions.

I got this working last summer using Knoppmyth R4V4 -- geforce 2 with
a CRT monitor at 800x600 and S-video to TV through an S-video-RCA
adapter at 640x480. I only kept the configuration while I was setting
things up, so I don't know what the further configuration issues
and/or performance issues are.
