I've had it working for several years. I just followed Nvidia's directions and
edited the XF86Config file by hand.
Here's my device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR (generic)"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
Driver "nvidia"
# VideoRam 65536
# Clock lines
# Uncomment following option if you see a big white block
# instead of the cursor!
# Option "sw_cursor"
Option "DPMS"
# sample twinview setup
Option "TwinView"
# be sure to replace the HorizSync and VertRefresh with correct values
# for your monitor!
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31-94"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-160"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
Option "MetaModes" "1152x864,1152x864"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "crt,crt"
EndSection
If you are trying to output to TV, you'll have to check the nvida docs and see
what you should set "ConnectedMonitor" to.
hope this helps.
