Presumably TV is the signal to drive a TV (I never used > mine). I don't know wheather the TV is secondary or tertiary, when i type xrandr with no options i just get the output of my primary monitor, as randr is not supported. I am not exactly sure which output i get as i have no access to my box at the moment, but i will check this. > If you type > > xrandr --output TV --off > > does it stop driving the TV? That is what the manual suggests will > happen. If not than it seems the nvidia driver isn't supporting randr > 1.2. Perhaps that was what was meant by "wont fix", nvidia bug. I guess a fix for this from nvidia will take ages as usually, is anybody out there who got tv-out working with the opensource driver from xorg with nvidia? Or do we have to wait for nouveau, mabe it does a better job! Regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
