Piping video out to the TV only.
I want to be able to pipe video via the TV-out on my NVidia to the TV *only* leaving my monitor clean for me to work on the com. My daughter sometimes wants to watch a movie we have saved on the computer while I'd rather continue to geek on. I never had any luck with changing the options of the NVidia card to something other than clone on Linux. If you have any suggestions or pointers I'd appreciate it.

I dont know if it would help, but i am running dual monitor without clone mode, do you think my config file would help you on your way?

That could be the ticket, yea.
