Um... what's the problem now? It wasn't especially clear from your post...

If your problem is with TwinView (which you have enabled), then the one issue I see is your MetaModes option. This should (from the nVidia README) be a semicolon-separated list of comma-separated meta-modes. Like this, assuming you want 1024x768 on the first screen and 640x480 on the second screen as a first choice, and 800x600 on the first screen with 640x480 on the second screen, as a fallback:

Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,640x480; 800x600,640x480"

My problem is that: i want to use my tv and my monitor at the same time when "X" are loaded.My monitor is recognised as primary devise and my tv as secondary device. This moment i get signal ("view") only in my monitor but not in my tv and i do not know how am i going to use bot, monitor and tv, at the same time. I tried using some changes in the xf86config but i failed so if you could help me somehow i whould be grateful. Thanx for your time

Hello !

I have the same problem with this card and a SuSE 8.0 and now 8.1. I've set "MetaModes" correctly and I've try to force using both (Monitor and TV) with "ConnectedMonitors" "CRT, TV" but if I use "TV" with this option - X don't start "screen(s) found but none have a useable configuration" - if I don't use this string Xfree.0.log displays "only one device found; disabling twinview".
I don't know how to ge it work. No replay from nvidia support.

If you found out what's the problem please send a message.
