o.k. i managed to configure the screen to be used as x terminal, following the instructions at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/NVidia/TV-OUT
essentially, the tv can be used as a separate x terminal or as an extension of the desktop area (dual-head mode). in either case, the tv is then (part of) an x screen. (and btw. just greyscale, no colours.) the compositor window shows up there on the tv screen in resized resolution, smaller than the tv screen, so it would have all its borders and buttons, and the composition inside is actually shrinked to quite smaller than pal. a professional would want to use the monitor to show just the video itself, so one would get an idea of what the product will look like when finally rendered and shown on tv / dvd. any ideas, folks? cheers, georg On Friday, 8.
