Hello,<br>
<br>
I've checked and i have a GeForce 4 MX 440, and i do see a TV-1 in
xrandr but I didn't manage to configure it with xrandr.<br>
<br>
I've looked over [2] and by using <b>xrandr --output TV-1 --right-of
VGA-1</b> i managed to extend my desktop to my TV. Also, i see the
window transparency effect keeps working ;)<br>
<br>
The problem is - I tried to configure xorg.conf but I didn't manage to
add the displays side by side (the TV overlaps with the monitor from
the top-left corner), even if they have different resolutions. I have
attached my xorg.conf for reference. I realize I must be missing
something trivial in the configuration. Anyone care to point it out?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Adrian<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello everyone,
First of all - congratulations on the success of your project. It was
about time the community did something about the nvidia drivers! :)
Now, I'm still experimenting with nouveau and I have enabled it on a
test system that has a rather old Nvidia card (GeForce4 I think) with
tv-out. Everything works fine, but I haven't been able to find any
examples on how to configure tv-out so I can extend my desktop to my
TV.

<pre wrap="">
Which card exactly? nv1x-based gf4 cards should be fine but nv2x GPUs
need an external TV encoder chip (and right now we only have a driver
for ch7006 and similar external encoders). So, if your card has one of
the supported encoders, you'll see a "TV-1" connector in the output of
"xrandr".

Can anyone help with a demo configuration of Xorg.conf?

<pre wrap="">It's configured as a regular RandR12 output, so it should just work with
the minimal xorg.conf [1], if you need to do something fancier like
changing the relative output positions or setting TV-specific
properties, see [2] and [3] (check out the TV-related kernel module
parameters too, see "modinfo nouveau").

<pre wrap="">Also, I want to ask - if there is any chance of using two displays
*and* enabling compositing (window transparency effects) - either with
software or hardware acceleration?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
It should work, but keep in mind that nv1x cards have a rather crude
pitch limitation (you'll get no hw accel if your desktop is larger than
2048x2048).

By the way, I am using Xubuntu 10.04.
