Nvidia TV-Out for Newbies

Special thanks to tseliot for writing the guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456

Configuring Xorg.conf

Open a terminal Open xorg.conf - Run one of the following commands, based on what distro you are running: Ubuntu:

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Kubuntu:

kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Other:

sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Editing the Monitor-section

/!\ Find the Section “Monitor” section and change the identifier to “Monitor[0]”: Before: (example)

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Standard Monitor"
	Option		"DPMS"
	HorizSync	30-90
	VertRefresh	50-60
EndSection

After: (example)

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Monitor[0]" #Primary display
	Option		"DPMS"
	HorizSync	30-90
	VertRefresh	50-60
EndSection

Now, add your TV as the second monitor. Place the following lines just below the default Section "Monitor" section.

Section "Monitor" 
	Identifier "Monitor[1]" #TV
	HorizSync 30-50
	VertRefresh 60
EndSection

If you wish, you can change the HorizSync and VertRefresh, but the values should work fine on most TVs.

Editing the Device-section

/!\ Find the Section “Device” section and change the identifier to “Device[0]” and add the parameter "screen 0": Before: (example)

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

After: (example)

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Device[0]"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        screen 0
EndSection

Now, add TV-OUT as another device. Place the following lines just below the default Section "Device" section.

Section "Device" 
        Driver          "nvidia" 
        Identifier      "Device[1]" 
        Screen 1 
        Option          "TVOutFormat" "Composite" #or SVIDEO etc 
        Option          "TVStandard" "PAL-G" #or NTSC etc 
        Option          "ConnectedMonitor" "Monitor[1]" 
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0" #adjust using 'lspci' or cat /proc/pci 
EndSection

/!\ You might want to change 2 things in the example above: 1)You can change "Composite" to “SVIDEO” (according to the type of video cable you use) 2)You can change your TVstandard from “PAL-G” to “NTSC-M” or "NTSC-J" according to your tv. To find out, please check the "Finding the right TV-standard" part of the howto. (at the bottom)

Editing the Screen-section

/!\ Find the Section “Screen” section and change the identifier to “Screen[0]”, device to Device[0] and monitor to Monitor[0]: /!\ Beware: not the whole section is shown! Before: (example)

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
        Monitor         "AL1715"
...
...
...
...

After: (example)

Section "Screen"
        Identifier  "Screen[0]" 
        Device      "Device[0]" 
        Monitor     "Monitor[0]"
...
...
...
...

Now, add the TV as another screen. Place the following lines just below the default Section "Screen" section.

Section "Screen" 
        Device "Device[1]" 
        Identifier "Screen[1]" 
        Monitor "Monitor[1]" 
        DefaultDepth 24 
        SubSection "Display" 
               Depth 24 
               Modes "1024x768_60" 
        EndSubSection    
EndSection

/!\ NOTE if your TV does not support a refresh rate of 60Hz you might want to set this line "Modes "1024x768_60"" as "Modes "1024x768_50"" in order to set the refresh rate to 50Hz

Editing the ServerLayout-section

/!\ Find the Section “ServerLayout” section and delete the Screen-line and insert 2 new lines: Before: (example)

Section "ServerLayout"
   	Identifier  "Simple Layout"
	Screen "Default Screen"
	InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	InputDevice	"Configured Mouse"
EndSection

After deleting the Screen-line, and adding this instead:

	Screen 0 "Screen[0]"
	Screen 1 "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]"

...it should look something like this: After: (example)

Section "ServerLayout"
   	Identifier  "Simple Layout"
	Screen 0 "Screen[0]"
	Screen 1 "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]"
	InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	InputDevice	"Configured Mouse"
EndSection

Now save the xorg.conf file, and exit the editor.

Giving it a try

Connect your computer to the tv. Restart the computer. (Or just restart X, by logging out and back in) Login, and check if a desktop appears on the tv. To change the "active" display, simply move your mouse to the extreme right of the PC-monitor, and it should appear on the TV, and move it to the extreme left, to get it back on the PC-monitor.

Tweaking KDE to make it easy to open a movie on the TV

You can add a shortcut to the "Actions"-menu very easily - Run these commands: Adding a Kaffeine entry:

wget http://www.dallerweb.dk/ubuntu/servicemenu/TV-kaffeine.desktop

Adding an Mplayer entry:

wget http://www.dallerweb.dk/ubuntu/servicemenu/TV-mplayer.desktop

Applying above entries:

cp TV-*.desktop ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/

This will add the shortcut! - You don't even have to restart anything :D
