you can user xrandr to enable tv-out either showing the same thing as another output (like a clone) or showing a different part of the desktop (think dualhead). > > But I'd rather not do that to screen 0.

Xv will work just fine on the tv-output. Alex _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
