-----------------Save to XF86config_tv so you know what XF86config to use
**************Import***********************
make the twin view save something like XF86Config_TwinView.bak
make the tv out, XFConfig_TVOUT_Only.bak
this way you can do something like cp XF86Config_TwinView.bak XF86Config
this way you can switch back and forth... and make a XF86Config_normal.bak
so you know what your doing... ok i suck have a nice day... FAQS are not my thing... But hopefully this helps.
----FAQ Sucks... But now you'll have tv out support / twin view support
Have A Nice Day
Ok well that's all i am going to right for now... -dem0nk1d
