Angry clone CRT-TV fails after upgrade FC3->FC4


Hi!
Last week I upgraded my system from FC3 -> FC4.
And since then i´ve been trying to get X working cloned to my projector (via S-VIDEO)again.

I can get X up on the CRT with the following configuration:


---------------------------
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"

Option "TwinView" "true"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, TV"
# Option "MetaModes" "800x600,800x600"
# Option "MetaModes" "CRT:1280x1024,TV:NULL;CRT:800x600,TV:800x600"


EndSection
-----
But the I don´t get anything on the TV/Proj due to option MetaModes beeing hashed out
---
(**) NVIDIA(0): Forcing SVIDEO output
(**) NVIDIA(0): ConnectedMonitor string: "CRT, TV"
(**) NVIDIA(0): TV Standard string: "PAL-B"
(WW) NVIDIA(0): To enable TwinView, you must also specify:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "<metamode list>"
------------------------------

if i enable it, I get the following in Xorg.0.log

(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 32768 kBytes
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using ConnectedMonitor string "CRT-0, TV-0"
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0: maximum pixel clock: 350 MHz
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
...............

The fishy thing is that cloning the CRT to the projector worked fine in FC2 and FC3

-----------------------

Some additional info which might be usefull.

I get the following in /var/log/messages:

Sep 19 11:42:02 thepit kernel: nvidia: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
Sep 19 11:42:02 thepit kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

alias char-major-195-* nvidia_1_0_7676
alias pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc03sc00i00* nvidia_1_0_7676
-----------------------


Does anyone have any good ideas.

Smile clone CRT-TV fails after upgrade FC3->FC4

HI!
After some time i finaly cracked the nut by reversing to an older version of the nvidia driver.
First i used the freshest 7676 and then i got som probelems on my XP inst on the same box, installing a older version there solved the problem.
So i went for the same approach in FC reverting to 7167 and kaaboom it worked.
