Basically, the only thing that I changed is the "Device" section.

######################################################################

Section "Device"

Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go]"

Driver "nvidia"

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

Option  "NoLogo"        "1"

Option "UseFBDev" "true"

# TV Out Setup

Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"

Option "TVOverScan" "0.6"

#Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"

EndSection


########################################################################

When I connect the computer to TV, I just uncomment 
#Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV".

After restart the primary and only display is the TV.





I tried with TwinView in Clone mode. But I made modest progress. My
plasma 32inch TV has a prebuilt resolution of 862x1024. And I cannot
manage to create a resolution like that in xorg.conf 

So I decrease resolution to 1024x1024. And a part of the Desktop is not
visible on TV. But I use it only for watching movies, so it's not a
problem, because it seems that fullscreen totem resizes the screen
automatically to fit the TV size and I get the full picture without
losing any parts of the picture "outside" of the screen.

No result at all ?

Amd64 Debian Etch (stable distribution).

1.0.8776-4 included in debian etch amd64 non-free repository.

Ask if you have any other questions. And don't forget to write about
your progress. Especially if you, actually, make a progress ;-)

I am still thinking how to make it work with TwinView the best way.

Did anybody manage to connect it to a TV ? I am only watching movies on
a TV. What is the best way to connect the laptop to a TV ? Using
TwinView or using TV as the only display? Or TwinView in a clone mode ?

Is it actually possible to have 1280x800 on my laptop and 862x1024 on TV
simultaneosly ? Obviously, not in a clone mode ? AFAIK, laptop screen
has to be secondary and TV primary?

Did anybody successfully do something like that ?
