Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
When I define in xorg.conf that I start X with dual-head on my LCD+CRT,
my TV is black-white (like sending NTSC, while it needs to be PAL-B)
when I switch monitors with nvidia-settings.
I normally work with dual head on my LCD and old CRT monitor. Sometimes
I want to watch a movie and start nvidia-settings to switch my CRT-
output to TV-Output, but for some reason, the output get blurry and
black and white. Nvidia does not output to PAL-B.
However, when I define in xconf.org that I start X with LCD+TV the
screen is in color (so PAL-B).
So the problem is that I cannot dynamically switch my display-output. I
first have to log-out, edit my xorg.conf en then log back in, because
you cannot change the TVStandard from nvidia-settings.
My xorg.conf looks like this for starting with TV-out
# Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1024x768 +1280+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select
+0+0; CRT: 800x600 +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +800+0; CRT: 640x480 +0+0,
DFP: nvidia-auto-select +640+0"
Option "metamodes" "TV: nvidia-auto-select +1280+0, DFP:
nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP"
