</div>Well, assuming you're using the nvidia driver (which is the only way<br>
the twinview xorg option would work) you should look at the readme for<br>
the driver. It has an entire list of all the options that you can put<br>
in and what they do. Go to the nvidia site adn read the readme for the<br>
version of driver you are running.<br>

I was unable to get what you are suggesting to work satisfactorily. The problem was that the different resolutions required by the TV and the monitor just wasn't allowed. It turns out I actually didn't want to watch both displays at the same time. What I ended up doing was configure xorg.conf for both displays but let myth boot to the highest priority display, the monitor. If I want to watch the TV, I disconnect the monitor and restart X. Sounds bad but works great for us. In my case, I use DVI for a projector and S-Video for the TV. I have a DVI switching processor so I just set it for another input and restart X and we are good to go for the TV. If I want to project the signal, I switch the processor to Myth and restart X. Before the projector has warmed up, myth is on. Reverse when I turn the projector off and myth is ready before we turn on the TV again.</div>
