I also consulted the README.Linux, after I found it....(Long day...). Now I think I got the basic idee of it down, but I seem not to be able to get both screens started. TV or Monitor. In the attachement you'll find my XF86config file maybe you can take a look? I've got the feeling that I'm missing a small detail or I'm completly of the target... When I place in the device section, Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" the TV jumps on. When I leave it as it is just the monitor works... Any Idee??
