Re: Nvidia TV-Out Problems
<SNIP>
Apologies for replying to my own post, but I noticed a mistake in my
xorg.conf file "PAL I" should have read "PAL-I". I changed this and still
have the same problem. Another issue I'm having is Switching VT's doesn't
work. If I open a terminal on VT6, log in as root and type startx -- :1 I
get my window manager loading as expected on VT8 but I cannot switch to
VT7 and back to VT8 again without getting a blank screen on VT8 - VT7
works fine, when I switch back to the promt where I started the second X
session I get this: "XLIB: Extension "SHAPE" missing on display "1.0"."
and I have to do CTRL-C to get back to the bash promt.
Again, thanks for any help.

There is still a bug in the nVidia driver which redirects the console output
to the TV-out.

Hi,
Thanks for your input.
I now have a working X on each display (monitor and TV). I had to switch
the port that the monitor was plugged into on the graphics card (why?!) I
used a a DVI->VGA adaptor and plugged in the monitor, turned it on and hey
presto - a picture on both screens; and now for some reason I can also
have an x session on VT7 & VT8 and switch between them without
hassle...The only issue I have now is when switching between X sessions,
sometimes the display get's moved to the right a little leaving a
black area along the left hand side of the screen - but I can live
with that - a simple CTRL+ALT++or- fixes it.
Anyone know why I had to change the port the monitor was plugged into to
get this setup to work correctly?

Maybe you need some lines like:
Option "ConnectedMonitors" "CRT,TV"
to say which ports to use.

That didn't seem to work, but anyhow it works as it is so i think I'll
leave it for now.
