I have onboard Nvidia not ATI. When I choose System ->Preferences ->Monitors I get a popup asking me if I want to use the vendor's X-server Settings which does allow me to configure TV-out.

Heyas all, <div class="gmail_quote"> I'm trying to get my television in my living room to act as a second monitor to my computer in another room. When I try and connect the TV it gets put as the primary monitor and my CRT as the secondary. The result of which is my logon and default screen is in my living room, and my monitor is essentially blank. So... Does anyone know how to force an ATI video card to swap the monitor 'number's? Here's the gear: Phenom II x4 Mushkin RAM Asus M4A series mobo AMD X64 Asus EAH HD4890 (ATI HD4890) Monitors: Sony 40" Bravia EX series television LaCie Electron Blue 22" Sony is connected by a DVI -> HDMI converter LaCie connected by a DVI -> RGB converter Software: Ubuntu 10.04 ATI Catalyst (unfortunately, would much rather run non-prop drivers) Can anyone offer any help?
