Does anybody know how you to configure your Xfreeconfig file so that
it can lanch two X windows at the same time. I would like te be able
to view my screen on my tv and monitor at the same time. I can do it
separatly(TV or Monitor) but it has to be possible to have twinview. I
have an NVIDIA Geforce 4 MX 440 SE and I'm pretty sure it supports
this feature (Works in WINDHOOS). Any links with information or advice
on how to adchieve this would be very welkom
Kristof,
this should be explained in the documentation or FAQ of the Nvidia Linux
driver. There is a twinview keyword that enables TwinView in X. There
are also a couple other options that specify the second display, it's
screen size, and where (layout-wise) it is located in relation to the
primary display.
I have my Xconfig file for TwinView attached. It enables my TFT display
(DFP) (Inspiron 8100 with GeForce2 Go) and the external monitor (CRT).
The keyword for the TV output I believe is just TV. All those things
are in the DEVICE section. Use the attached stuff as an example and
modify it to fit your needs.
Hope this helps,
Frank
PS: Anyone know a decent and not too expensive TFT flat screen capable
of 1600x1200?
