[mythtv-users] Configuring X with my GF4 for TV Out

[Justin Popa]

I am currently having issues getting the resolution right in my TV-Out
setup. I had no luck using Jarod's guide with my GF4MX440, so I kind
of scrounged things together from multiple sources. Right now the
resolution for the TV is getting set to the same as the monitor on the
system. The way I am thinking, it seems to me that the way I have set
it up(no experience with configuring X) the TV just clones the
monitor. I guess I am kind of lost on how to set this whole thing up.
Does anyone have a working config using nvidia for ONLY tv out? Thanks

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
# or:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
#       Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
