[mythtv-users] Linux newbie strikes again... PVR-150 not outputting to X300...

[obscure information.]

Nevermind - I figured it out before work this morning; I just set it like:


    Option      "MonitorLayout" "TV"
    Option      "ForceMonitors" "TV"

And ensured that the monitor cable was not connected to the video card
during bootup.

I'm sure I'll be back with more stupid questions this evening when I get
home though :)
