Hm, the freeze is new. :-) You can switch X modes from the command line with -X, though, and from the GUI, too (if it still works). > Doing the TV-Out via xrandr and Xinerama would be much more > comfortable, You can use the second head, too, which is "sort of" Xinerama. Though nvtv needs to do more initialization to do that, so it might clash with KMS. You can also attach the video overlay hardware to the second head, if you mainly want to watch videos on the TV. And switching from the commandline isn't that much different from xrandr. - Dirk
