Not sure really ;-)

> Any hints on what you did?

First thing I did (after posting here - bad Bo) was to actually look at
the docs for the card /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README. While I
didn't understand a word of it I tried to modify my
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and it worked. Not perfectly, there is one
remaining problem, but I'll get to that further down.

1. first I entered a new monitor section for my tv-set. Not sure if this
is needed

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "tv"
    VendorName "Sony"
    HorizSync 30-50
    VertRefresh 60
EndSection

2. Then the "screen" section needs some extra bits

Identifier "screen1"
    Device "device1"
    Monitor "monitor1"
    DefaultColorDepth 24
    Option "TwinView"
# This let's you use two monitors in the first place

    Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync"     "30-50"
    Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh"   "60"
# These are for the tv.

    Option "MetaModes"                "1024x768,800x600;800x600,800x600"
# The resolution for the two displays. This is where I have a problem. 
# The first set od resolutions crops the image on the tv and the second
# gives me larger virtual screen than 800x600, not god for watching a 
# movie. I need to figure this one out.

    Option "TwinViewOrientation"        "clone"
# This option looks best for watching movies as the the two displays  
# will show the same things. Other options will create a large virtual 
# screen than extend across one side of the monitor and extends to the 
# tv. I.e moving the cursor to the right side of the monitor will cause.
# it to appear on the tv.
# Good for work, but not movies.

    Option "ConnectedMonitor"           "crt,tv"
    Option "TVStandard"                 "PAL-B" 
# The tv-format used in Sweden.

If anyone has ideas how to resolve my remaining problem with resolution
and screen size, please let me know. Why do I get a virtual screen that
is larger than 800x600?

Subsection "Display"
        Depth 8
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 15
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 16
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection

Cheers,
        Bo
