I've done some playing around with TwinView in an effort to get my GF4 to display on both the TV and monitor at the same time. Although I've been able to get it configured as such, I've only been able to get the TV to stay at 800x600 resolution by keeping the monitor at 800x600 also. I'd really like the monitor to get to 1024x768 (at least), but whenever I make changes to the xorg.conf file to do this, the TV screen gets larger as well, effectively only allowing me to see a portion of the screen on the TV.
I understood the syntax to be:
Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600" where "number, number" is equal to monitor 1, monitor 2.
I would assume this would allow me to do something more like this:
Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600" "800x600, 1024x768"
But that doesn't appear to be the case. Could someone look at my attached xorg.conf and let me know their thoughts?
You do not have to do it that complicated. I have attached my xorg.conf (for a GeForce4 MX440).
I do not have the MetaModes line and the TV-Out scales the display from the monitor as nice as it can.
Of course you will not be able of watching recordings on both the TV and the Monitor, because the overlay buffer (Xv feature) is being used for scaling (or in this case avoiding scaling) and it can not scale for two different output resolutions at the same time.
