Clone on TV
« on: January 20, 2008, 05:33:52 pm »
Hi,

I'm noob with linux and I'd like to clone my tv with the vga output.
As I've a video projector and TV I'd like make a clone for see my videos on projector and browse other medias on tv.
Any one could explain me to do that please.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm french.
Thank's for this great application ;)

Hi jesaipa,

 je sais lol.

 it all depend of the video card and tv you have ( does it have a single output dual ? does the tv has vga connector or Svideo or peritel scart)

 if your tv does not have vga you can use a vga to Svideo converter but be warned the picture quality on standard CRT tv's is a pain to get setup and it's not always easy to know which frequencies are used byt the tv.

  After that you will need to tweak your xorg.conf to use both outputs or clone one of them.

 Please letme know if you need further input.

Regards,

 En espĂ©rant aider,

Rafik

Hi Rafik

I've a nvidia 5700 LE with one vga, one dvi and one S-Video output and my TV have S-Video input.
Thank's for the idea, I'm going to search informations about xorg.conf to make clone, I hope that's not too hard to setup.
