[mythtv-users] Pseudo OT: TV-Out, Radeon, and XF86Config-4

[Ryan Steffes]

Basically I'm trying to figure out how to have TV show up on both 
screens without undesired side effects.  What I've noticed is I can get 
two different effects that are close to what I want but can't find the 
way to combine them.  I have a Radeon 9700Pro running the flgrx 
drivers.  TV is plugged into SVideo (primary head) and my moniter is 
plugged into the VGA (secondary).

With the first settings I can watch MythTV/xine/mplayer only on my TV:

Option "DesktopSetup"               "0x00000100"
Option "MonitorLayout"              "STV, CRT"

I can of course reverse that to only watch on my monitor.

The second settings I can watch Mythtv/mplayer/xine on both:

Option "DesktopSetup"               "0x00000000"
Option "MonitorLayout"              "STV, AUTO"

BUT I have to have the tv unplugged before I start the computer or my 
monitor doesn't work AT ALL.  I like to watch television on my, um well, 
television, but cutting out the commercials is alot easier from the 
keyboard in front of the monitor. The rest of config follows:

Thanks,
-Ry
