Bumping to the top...<br><br>Does anyone have any guidelines or is
anyone using a primary widescreen output while also outputting
svideo? I want to be able to watch the primary widescreen
display most of the time, but still be able to watch the svideo output
on the bedroom TV. I don't need to do both simultaneously so
I'm not really considering a second mythtv FE.<br><br>Problems I have:<br>1.
Using nvidia twinview, I can get both displays working, but I have to
use "clone" mode and this puts the svideo window in the center of the
widescreen view like so (hope this turns out):<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><-----------864 x 480-----------></span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
=====------------------------====</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">= | |
=</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">= |<-------640x480------>| =</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
= | |
=</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">=====------------------------====</span><br><br>2. I can't get twinview to shift the center window (640x480) to the left, so on the TV display, the right half is cut off.
<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
