I can't manage to get two monitors up and running. I have one 22" 1680x1050 LCD Monitor through DVI and one 32" 1366x768 LCD TV connected to the computer through HDMI. My problem is that I can't figure out how to get any signal through the HDMI to the TV.
I have NVIDIA driver 173 working fine with a GeForce 8200 on 64bit Intrepid.
I have tried TwinView and googled for hours searching for a solution, trying to enable TwinView. I have not found a way yet. In "NVIDIA X Server Settings" --> "X Server Display Configuration", "Seperate X screen" is the only available option. "Disabled" and "TwinView" are both greyed out. "Detect displays" doesn't give any results.
I installed Ubuntu with only the DVI monitor connected.
I am only going to run xbmc in the TV monitor so there might be alternatives to TwinView, but either way I don't have the skillz needed to modify xorg.conf.
Here's a copy of my xorg.conf:

I need help to rewrite this file to support both of my monitors. Please ask for more info, if needed.
