Hi,
I have a question about nVidia TV-Out. Is it
possible to set it up so that the framebuffer device uses one section of
framebuffer memory for the normal console on the monitor, and another memory
area for the TV-Out. I know that under MS Windows XP it is possible to run two
independent screens, one on TV and one on Monitor. I would like to duplicate
this in Linux. I have not found much about TV-Out for nVidia, but I have found
one utility which is used in X-Windows to enable output on the TV. But this
software sets it up so that both monitors have the same framebuffer, and the
same resolution. I have the sourcecode for the bugger and will soon look at the
code to reverse engineer what they did. I was hoping someone had already
accomplished this and could tell me what to do. I would like to display the TV
on the TV and keep the computer monitor clear for status and display functions.
I am working on a new TV/Home control system and need this feature to work
similar to the implementation on Windows.
Thank you,
