  • compile the matroxfb stuff to modules

  • load modules with the ./modules script

  • turn on display cloning with ./cloning

  • execute ./TV-640x512 or whichever resolution you +wish to use

    Now you should have a clean picture on the TV, and maybe a somewhat strange +picture on the console. But console doesn't matter, start X. Your TV +goes black or have strange stripes, but monitor/X is fine !
    +So, anytime you want to start watching something on TV, just start +MPlayer in X (-vo mga of course, and calculate +-x and -y values by hand), change to tty1 (with +ctrl-alt-f1), and turn off the monitor. +
