Differences between revisions 1 and 2

With this howto for your Nvidia graphic card, you can view X simultaneously on your monitor and TV.

Backup your xorg.conf

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

Edit your xorg.conf

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add the following to the Device section of your xorg.conf file and save it:

Option "TwinView" "true"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600;640x480,640x480;    512x384,512x384"

If you are using an S-Video cable change "COMPOSITE" to "S-VIDEO" If your TV uses PAL change "NTSC-M" to "PAL-G" You may also change MetaModes to whatever is appropriate for your system!

Now you need to restart X
