[mythtv-users] Output to monitor and TV - how?

   I am running MythTV 0.20 on a Slackware 11.0 box with a 2.6.19.1
kernel. My video card is an Nvidia GEForce FX 5200, and it is
connected to my TV by an S-Video cable. I have an xorg.conf file
(which I am attaching) that I have put together, hoping to get my
display both on my CRT monitor and TV simultaneously. So far, no luck.

   I can get output on my CRT monitor and my TV separately, but not at
the same time. Using the attached xorg.conf file, when I launch my X
server, by means of startx, the following warning is printed out:

(WW) NVIDIA: More than one matching Device section found: Nvidia CRT

Only the first match (at screen 0) is started.

   Is it possible to have a single X server running, so that its
output can be seen both at the CRT monitor and at the TV
simultaneously? Or must one start two X servers on different screens?
Another issue is that when I get the output on my TV the resolution
seems to be all wrong, in that some of the output is off the screen,
most notably at the top. The resolution I set in the Modes line for th
TV screen is that corresponding to my NTSC TV set - but it does not
seem to work. Any ideas why?
