Hmm. Cannot confirm this. For me, TV-out is fine with nvidia 8776 (and it
was with the earlier versions, as well). You need to study the README,
though, and add stuff to XF86Config, something similar to (depends on your
card, your primary display, etc., of course):
Driver "nvidia"
Option "TwinView"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024, 640x480"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Me, for my part, I'm very interested in getting rid of that blob nvidia
and use nv instead. If you get anything in this direction, please let me
know.
