Which card exactly? nv1x-based gf4 cards should be fine but nv2x GPUs need an external TV encoder chip (and right now we only have a driver for ch7006 and similar external encoders). So, if your card has one of the supported encoders, you'll see a "TV-1" connector in the output of "xrandr". > > Can anyone help with a demo configuration of Xorg.conf? > It's configured as a regular RandR12 output, so it should just work with the minimal xorg.conf [1], if you need to do something fancier like changing the relative output positions or setting TV-specific properties, see [2] and [3] (check out the TV-related kernel module parameters too, see "modinfo nouveau"). > Also, I want to ask - if there is any chance of using two displays > *and* enabling compositing (window transparency effects) - either with > software or hardware acceleration? It should work, but keep in mind that nv1x cards have a rather crude pitch limitation (you'll get no hw accel if your desktop is larger than 2048x2048). > > By the way, I am using Xubuntu 10.04. > > Regards, > Adrian > _______________________________________________ > Nouveau mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau [1] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau [2] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Randr12 [3] http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
