[mythtv-users] TV-Out and Screen out with PVR 350 - XF86Config

[Thomas Hudak]

I have a config that *should* work, it's a simple xinerama screen
(remember the xinerama screen option in the mythtv config?) however I
have a major problem with it, when loading the nvidia accelerated driver
for screen 0, and the fb driver for screen 1 in xinerama makes nvidia
sh*t the bed complaining of unresolved symbols, however xinerama w/
another video card works fine, single head / twinview modes work
perfectly, and the XF86Config for both nvidia, and fb sans any xinerama
configuration works beautifully out to the monitor and TV respectively -
just not at the same time. hmph...

Maybe I'll submit someone a bug report one day, until then I need to pay
my rent, eat some food, sleep, and watch all my new commercial free TV
in high quality..

If anyone using non-nvidia cards has gotten a xinerama
<x_driver_here>/fbdev combo to work, could you describe the experience?
I'm sure it's glorious!

(BTW, using xinerama screen 1 in the myth config in twinview w/ nvidia
tv-out and X on the monitor does work, but tv-out is so horribly fubar
it's not worth it until you turn off twinview.)
