I have an Asus A8F with an integrated Intel video card. I guess what you want 
is a tv-out functionality - thus you can get any output on the display to go 
to tv screen. If your configuration is like mine, you can use the standard 
capabilities of X11 by adding a xinerama prophile to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
file. 

Look at mine for a clue. I use xinerama prophile (one stretched desktop) but 
two displays or a cloned displays could be used as well. when I need the 
tv-out I just replace the standard xorg.conf file with the one I am 
attaching.
