Does anyone have any guidelines or is anyone using a primary widescreen output while also outputting svideo? I want to be able to watch the primary widescreen display most of the time, but still be able to watch the svideo output on the bedroom TV. I don't need to do both simultaneously so I'm not really considering a second mythtv FE.
Problems I have:
1. Using nvidia twinview, I can get both displays working, but I have to use "clone" mode and this puts the svideo window in the center of the widescreen view like so (hope this turns out):
<-----------864 x 480----------->
=====------------------------====
= | | =
= |<-------640x480------>| =
= | | =
=====------------------------====
2. I can't get twinview to shift the center window (640x480) to the left, so on the TV display, the right half is cut off.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
