Hello I am using RH9 and drivers 4349. I have the desire to clone my output to my television screen. I currently have the following issue :

When I laod up X, I get the following error message :

(WW) NVIDIA(0): 2 display devices connected, but only 1 supported;
(WW) NVIDIA(0): adjusting...

And here is my X config. I can run X on my CRT just fine. But no output (after the initial flicker) gets sent out to the television. :

Any ideas? According to alien, I should be able to clone. However the X log says otherwise. I *DO* plan on upgrading my driver to the latest soon, but just havent had the time. IIf that has ALOT to do with it, I can upgrade then report back.

Thanks much!

It has been brought to my attention that my firware doesnt allow for 2 outputs of any kind at the same time. So in that case I would like to use a second card. That makes one Geforce and one TNT to do my bidding ... or not.

I added in the info I gatherd from my release notes PDF from nVIDIA. What is odd though is that even though I plug in my values needed for the PCI bus, X doesnt pick up correctly my PCI stuff. Here is my lspci output, my XF warnings and errors (dont think there are any errors though) and my XF86Config.

Any ideas on what I am apparently missing?
