[OT] how do I set-up my nvidia for dual output?
Hi, all

I have a not so old nvidia video card that has TV out.

I've been searching the web but could not find exactly what I am looking
for.

This board does not support both outputs at the same time, I have to
choose VGA or TV separetely.

What I want is to do some kind of fast switching between them, with the
same contents, just different resolutions.

Anyone doing this? Any ideas? Any links?

Thanks in advance
Francisco

emerge nvtv

And likely the board *does* support both at the same time. I was
amazed when both my GeForce 256 and GeForce 2 with video out allowed
both (mirrored) to be run at once in Linux, but never in Windows. It's
just a driver thing.
