I do not have a good understanding of X config files but I have successfully
had running a cloned output from my graphics card to a TV.
I recently bought an LCD monitor but cannot seem to get the two to work well
together now. (I can have the clone working fine but LCD res is not optimal.
If LCD res is optimal the clone does not work)
Below is an excerpt from my xorg.conf file. Can anyone offer any suggestion?
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440-SE]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "TwinView" "True"
# Option "MetaModes" "1024x768_v,640x480"
# The line below allows my TV to clone my PC but PC res is not best
# Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768; 800x600,
800x600;"
# The line below allows best res on LCD but TV clone does not work
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024, 1280x1024; 1024x768,
1024x768; 800x600, 800x600;"
