yeap, i do not have startx any longer (i have nothing right now, but that is another story  ), i have no idea how it got deleted, but the system could not find it any more, so i really screwed up somewhere
twinview is actually much much easier to set up than what is done with two different layouts , just do this:
| Code: | # Device configured by xf86config:
Section "Device"
Identifier "geforece4nv"
# Driver "nv"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "3"
#VideoRam 65536
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
# twinview settings
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-69"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-70"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024, 640x480"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, DFP"
EndSection |
twinview 1 enables twinview
second* is self explanatory
twinview... is also
metamodes = resolution of first screen, resolution of second
connecte.... = types of monitors to use (dfp worked on mine as the tv, but for a crt and a tv it should read "CRT, TV")
so it is much less work, but there are implications
here is the thread where twinview was disscussed : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=106156&highlight=
if anyone wants to look at it |

Drew, what you want is very possible, and was the only way i could get it work on my gf3. All you do is make a new config file with only TV information in it.
Then you startx for your normal screen and
startx -- :1 -xf86config XF86ConfigTV
then CTRL + ALT + F7 = Normal Desktop
CTRL + ALT + F8 = TV Desktop,....but with this you can only view one at a time on my gf3... so TV is black until you hit ctrl + alt + f8.
Thats what you originally asked for, but if you got twinview working then tis better. |

Actually, a lot of that stuff is in 2.6.0, but the nvidia drivers do not allow you to use have more than one output active *at the same time* in such a manner. AFAICT they are always both part of one display, or they are two displays on separate virtual consoles that you can switch between, wihout being able to use both at the same time. You'll notice the tested configurations are multiple cards - this is the only way to do this, unfortunately  |
