Hey all,
I'm trying to find some configuration that will allow me to use my television as a 3rd monitor using the same video card. (The card has 3 outputs, one which goes to the TV.)
Using the NVidia X Server Settings GUI I can (using TwinView) either enable the two monitors, or one monitor and the TV. It won't let me get all three, using any combination of TwinView, Separate X Screen, etc....
I ended up with the following xorg.conf, but it doesn't seem to fit the bill:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Sun Feb 1 20:21:04 UTC 2009
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Tue Mar 24 06:15:32 PST 2009
