Solved! Send to TV, change resolution to 800x600, and disable laptop internal screen
#1
I can't figure out how to configure my svideo display to use 640x480 so it will display the entire screen on my TV instead of just part of it. I'd also like to disable my laptop screen.

Here is my xorg log.

This is the result of running xrandr:
Code:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1440 x 900, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 900 default connected 1440x900+0+0 0mm x 0mm    1440x900       60.0*

Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nvidia"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    Option         "DynamicTwinView" "False"
    Option         "TwinView"        "True"
    Option      "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
    Option         "NoFlip" "false"
    Option         "NoLogo" "true"
    Option         "ConnectToAcpid" "0"
    Option         "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Native"
    Option         "ModeValidation" "NoVesaModes, NoXServerModes"
    Option         "HWCursor" "false"
    # To put Xorg in debug mode change "false" to "true" in the line below:
    Option         "ModeDebug" "false"
    # To use a local edid.bin file uncomment the 4 lines below (change DFP-0 to match your card)
#    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
#    Option         "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/storage/.config/edid.bin"
#    Option         "IgnoreEDID" "false"
#    Option         "UseEDID" "true"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "screen"
    Device         "nvidia"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "ColorRange" "Full"
#    Option         "ColorRange" "Limited"
#    Option         "ColorSpace" "RGB"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option         "Composite" "false"
EndSection


(In case you read my other topic, I still prefer using the OSS version, but I'm trying the nvidia driver for now.)

I did this once before, so I know it's possible. I just can't remember how! I'm pretty sure it was in xorg.conf. Right now, the display is larger than my tv screen, so it's quite a real problem.

Solved it myself with this:


Code:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "TV-0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    Option         "DynamicTwinView" "False"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "TV-0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "UseDisplayDevice" "TV"
    Option         "UseEDID" "FALSE"
    Option         "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
    Option         "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
    Option         "metamodes" "TV-0: 800x600 +0+0"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "TV-0"
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option         "Composite" "false"
EndSection
