nVidia TwinView Problem
I finally managed to get TwinView working with my GeForce 5600FX card.
So in addition to having my desktop monitor on the VGA port, I am
now able to also pipe my video via the S-Video port (with a composite
adapter) to my VCR, which serves as a TV tuner for the old Amiga
monitor. I did this so that I can watch DVDs from my recliner instead
of having to watch them at my desk.
However, there is one annoying little problem. I want to keep my
desktop monitor set to 1280x1024, while the best the Amiga monitor can
do is 800x600. Because of this, I only get about 1/2 the display on
the TV. To illustrate, here's a couple screen captures:
First, the desktop monitor...

And what is visible on the TV...

What do I need to do to get "full screen" capability on the TV without
having to set the monitor resolution to 800x600?
Here is what my XF86Config-4 file looks like:
