Well had some more Kubuntu fun today!
Now with the video resolution where I want it...
I actually did get the dual view working as well! Though...not quite
the way I want.
I ended up going the nVidia driver TwinView route as from the various
different methods I've seen to get a dual view that seemed the easiest
for me. It being nVidia only doesn't bother me since...I am nVidia
only myself. =)
Yes, thats the easiest way to do it and myself I used it for a quite long time
and it has it advantages, as you can turn off the screens too.
Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200,NULL;NULL,1024x768"
This gives you to setups, the first will give you the 1600x1200 on your main
screen, the tv will not get any signal, the second will not give no signal to
your monitor, but to your plasma.
You switch with: [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[KeyPad +]
[Ctrl]-[Alt]-[KeyPad -]
I think this will fix your fullscreen problem too, you can add more modes if
you want. Keep in mind that if you have output to both screens at the same
time, the speed will be halved of what the card normally does, this won't
affect more than games like Quake4.
If you want to use two screens, then take a look at this config filehttp://www.kotiaho.net/~trizt/tmpimg/xorg.conf_nvidia_dual
All you really have to do is change the BusID to match the one that is for
your card (in your case, it's the same both for "PCI" and "AGP") and you can
drop the "UseInt10Module" in the "PCI" options. Modify the other settings
according to your own wishes.
You may want to use nvidia-settings, not sure if ubuntu has it's own package
for that one or if it's included with the driver, nvidia-settings allows you
to tweak a quite many values for the card/outputs.
When I do play a movie..I want the movie full-screen on the Plasma
regardless of size on the desktop.
aviplay had this feature that you could get it to play the right resolution
for twinviews secondary screen, but sadly the program isn't anymore maintained
and it only played avi files. I do fully suggest you go and try to use two
screens instead of twinview.
I still need to find a good C/C++ IDE though..any suggestions? =)
KDevelop

IDE? Just use Kate! ;-) No but seriously, Kdevelop and QT are ones I
could recommend from my limited use. I tried Anjuta (from automatix2)
but it just didn't do it for me.
Aho, I still need to fiddle with my ancient laptops DSL kernel and
will let you know how it goes.
Stephan, good luck to you!
ps. I only have MS on a minor partition as I am doing a course that
runs a program with IE deeply embedded and Wine just can't run
it...otherwise I would be linux 100%
