In my experience, yes, but... I have my monitor running at 1152x864 and the TV at 1024x768. The TV out won't go any higher than that. I ran into the following problems with this: * mplayer when run from mythtv thinks full screen is 1152x864, so on the TV the bottom right part of the picture is missing. There's a mythtv setup screen which shows how mplayer is called, so this can be fixed by supplying -geometry arguments * similarly mythtv itself has to be set to 1024x768. * xscreensaver thinks the screen is only 1024x768, so there is a border. * firefox won't save itself at a size greater than 1024x768. There may be workarounds for these, but I haven't found them yet. The relevant part of xorg.conf looks like this.
