Anyone using SVIDEO out for TV (fe/be)?

When using this new nvidia driver, I can't get my second xserver to
start, but it did in v7676 fine (I have a CRT on the VGA connector and a
TV on the SVIDEO connector.)

 I get the following errors in Xorg.0.log:

(EE) NVIDIA(1): Unable to find available Display Devices for screen 1.
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) UnloadModule: "ramdac"
(II) UnloadModule: "fb"


Screen 0 (a CRT) works fine.

And, xorg sees the screen at the beginning of boot:

(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sat Apr  8 19:25:16 2006
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(==) ServerLayout "single-head configuration"

(**) |   |-->Device "nvidiaLCD"
(**) |-->Screen "ScreenTV" (1)
(**) |   |-->Monitor "MonitorTV"
(**) |   |-->Device "nvidiaTV"

And, I can see the boot text on the TV as the machine is booting.


On a lark, here's a question:
I installed the *686 version of the kernel modules from atrpms.  Do you
think that has anything to do with it since I'm on a Athlon64 3200 (I'm
in 32 bit mode).   Just grabbing for anything here. It's got me stumped.
Everything else seems to work fine (I can start mythtv on the CRT and it
runs ok.)

thanks
