Hi all,

I currently have my system configured where I have my X11 configured with 2 output devices, 0.0 and 0.1. :0.1 is set up with my TV-Out on my Nvidia card.

I'm using Xine with vdr because I have a budget card. I set my display to :0.1 and then run Xine in full screen mode and away it goes.

My question is, is this the best way of configuring my system?

Yes, I think so.

Nvidia does not have dual head (like Matrox), so you have to stick with twin view.

A possible other solution is to add a pci graphics card with tv out and use that one for vdr.
