just want to say that I see text output of booting and shutting down
thru the S-Video (TV) output, so I know that's working with this new
setup.  And, mythfrontend seems to work fine (I fixed the Live TV problem).
I just can't see why I don't have a dual head (individual) when going
into X with the new nvidia drivers.

Any ideas most welcome! I shouldn't have tried this so close to saturday
night TV watching ;-(
