Have you tried by removing that setting? It works? > Second question: what if I want to use the tv-out connection instead of > the DVI? How do I specify that? You can try with "xrandr". Alternatively, you can dive into nvidia manual to manually specify that option (there is a GUI for configuring this or you can edit the xorg.conf file by hand): http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.36/README/index.html Just verify the version of the readme file matches your driver version.
