Subject: TV-out and resolutions and such
I finally got around to hooking my myth box up to my sony 27" TV. I have =
a GeForce4 MX 440 TV-out card and I am using the closed-source nvidia =
driver in the "TwinView" mode so I can run a monitor and the tv =
simultaneously. For some reason I can't find the right combination to =
get the whole picture on the TV. I used the option "Clone" to have the =
same desktop on both outputs, but for some reason only the top left =
portion of the X desktop appears on the TV. So everything is shifted for =
me on the TV. I was wondering what you (Isaac) are running as far as =
your XF86Config to get a good picture on your tv? Is there something I =
should know here besides what's written in the README for the Nvidia =
drivers?
here is my XF86Config...just in case it helps
