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?
