Re: nVidia drivers and TV-OUT

[Andrew]

Meh - I sorted this out a few weeks back.
Here's the results for anyone who likes to use nVidia drivers

It's a dual display: a) LCD, b) TV as separate displays
I do this so I can play movies on the TV fullscreen using
mplayers -fs option (and setting the display to :0.1)
(and still use the LCD)
The 1680x1050 LCD may have had problems before 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6
(well - it did but I'm not sure what changes I made to solve them)

Also note, ScreenX and VideocardY are not the same - I just didn't
swap the names around :P

P.S. careful - nVidia 'take' your money, you don't choose to
give it to them - you might want to stay away from nVidia :D :D
