[nvidia driver] Twin View + TvOut

[belbo <andrea.ballatore@gmail.com>]

Hi.

The problem is the following: I've connected 2 CRT screens (one through a 
dvi2crt converter) and a TV to my nvidia Ti4200. This configuration under linux 
(debian sarge) doesn't work at all. If I want to have a dual monitor, I have to 
disconnect TV, and vice-versa. Under windows XP, when all 3 screens are 
connected at same time, tv doesn't work, but I don't have to disconnect 
phisically the cable.
Without second CRT, tv-out works fine.

Anyone knows if it is possible to get a "triple view" configuration only via 
software configurations?

The ideal situation is this one:

* first CRT: main monitor;
* second CRT: leftOf extension of first CRT;
* TV: clone of first CRT.

Is it a pure utopia or have I got some actual possibility?

Here is the interesting section of xorg.conf:

#===============TV-OUT==================
