Hello I have connected my computer using s-video to my television and all has gone surprisingly well so far.
The only problem now is that to be able to fullscreen my media player and watch movies nicely I need to run the resolution 640x480 on my monitor...
Is there a way I can still run 1152x864 res on my monitor and scale it down to 640x480 for my television? At the moment I need to keep changing Xorg.conf's for each need.
Here is what I am using to watch my movies:
Code: |
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-160
Modeline "1024x768" 60.80 1024 1056 1128 1272 768 768 770 796
Modeline "1152x864" 79.16 1152 1192 1288 1472 864 864 866 896
EndSection
Section "Device"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Option "TwinView"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "MetaModes" "640x480,640x480"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, TV"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-I"
Option "TVOutFormat" "Svideo"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Any inputs in how to do this would be most appreciated. |

Hey,
I haven't gotten my s-video working (different card, more problems than you appear to be having), but aren't the meta modes what controls the resolution on each device?
For instance, to run the TV at 640x480 and the monitor at 1024x768, I think you can use this line:
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,640x480"
?
I am not sure, but worth a try...
