I'm trying in vain to get Twinview to work with NVIDIA's proprietary
drivers. You know, images that show in a 5x4 format on my Viewsonic
monitor showing fullscreen in 5x4 format on my Sony TV and images that
are 16x9 filling up all the TV screen.

Do you believe this it is possible with the Nouveau driver? That would
be wonderful, mainly if it wouldn't prevent me from installing a TV
tuner later on.
