+.SH OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
+Multihead configuration is done through the RandR1.2 interface (see
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) and xrandr(__appmansuffix__) for
+details). The following output properties may be available (depending
+on what chip model is being used. You can use xrandr(__appmansuffix__)
+to get a list of the allowed properties and ranges):
+.SS DVI-I and TV outputs
+.TP
+.B subconnector
+reports what kind of connector was detected to be plugged in.
+It can be something like
+.BR DVI-D " or " DVI-A " for " DVI-I " outputs, "
+.RB "and something like " Composite ", " SVIDEO ", " Component " or " SCART
+.RB "for " TV " outputs."
+.TP
+.B select subconnector
+allows the user to override the autodetected
+.B subconnector
+setting.
+.SS DVI-I, DVI-D and LVDS outputs
+.TP
+.B dithering, scaling mode
+Analogous to the
+.BR FPDither " and " FPScale
+config file options explained above.
+.SS TV outputs
+.TP
+.B mode
+selects which TV norm will be used. Note that the TV output has to be
+turned off before this can be modified. If you want a system-wide
+default for this, use the
+.B tv_norm
+option of the TV encoder driver you're using (If no external TV
+encoder is being used, that's the \*qnouveau\*q kernel module).
+.TP
+.B overscan
+controls how much of the screen margins will be left unused and black.
+.TP
+.B scale
+Only used for TV encoders with fixed rescaler units that require
+different video modes for different scaling ratios. A bigger
+.B scale
+value usually means a bigger output image. Note that the TV output has
+to be turned off before modifying this, just like the
+.B mode
+property.
