nV News Forums - Twin and different resolution for TV

Hi,

I've been trying to get my TV connected to my Dell laptop (GeForce 7900S) using TwinView. My desktop resolution is at 1920x1200 and my TV is at 1024x768. The problem is no matter what I do I cannot seem to get the TV ton run at 1024x768 so the TV only displays a partial view of the screen.

The relevant section of my xorg.conf is:

Code:

Section "Monitor"

        Identifier   "Monitor0"

        HorizSync    28.0 - 96.0

        VertRefresh  50.0 - 75.0

EndSection

        Identifier  "Card0"

        Driver      "nvidia"

        BoardName   "All"

        Option      "RenderAccel" "true"

        Option      "TwinViewOrientation" "DFP-0 RightOf TV-0"

        SubSection "Display"

                Depth   24

                Modes "1920x1200" "1600x1200" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

                Modes "1920x1200" "1600x1200" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

        EndSubSection

I've been going back and forth with different configuration settings for hours now. Is there anything that I am missing? I am using KDE but do not yet have it compiled with xinerama support though from my understanding this shouldn't affect the screen resolution of the TV?

Any help would be very appreciated.
