Tv-out

[Elijah]

I was aiming to get the tv-out of my geforce2 mx working so I google it a bit and found some configuration instructions in linuxhardware.org . I tried it out and restarted my 'puter and I was dissapointed that my other tv is not working (no dual display!). But I noticed that there is someting amiss in my screen (whooo, what's this?), I moved my mouse toward the right side of my screen and I noticed that I have extended my monitor screen! This was truly unexpected but at least I got some xtra space

added this in xf86-4 device section:
------------------------------------
Option "TwinView"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768; 800x600, 800x600; 640x480, 640x480;"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
-----------------------------------
I've also tried nvtv (from somewhere) and it only froze my 'puter.

Can anyone direct me to tv-out configs so I can finally use my tv as an extra screen space? ;)

Have you seen the README (http://205.158.109.140/XFree86_40/1.0-2313/README.txt) file?

Kinda disappointed as I was expecting to find a precise detailed procedure on how to enable TV-out for the supported video cards.

"How I did it" form. :(

Yes, this is not a How-Do-I-Do-It Forum, it's a How-I-Did-It forum, implying that it has been done. Unless you have it working, post elsewhere.

Am I on the right post? I just thought what I did IS interesting (for me :) )

"Have you done something interesting with your linux box?"

If the administrators think me posting this is wrong, then I apologize (sorry!)

anyways, the how-to-do-it can be found somewhere in linuxhardware.org :D
