Hello everyone,

First of all - congratulations on the success of your project. It was
about time the community did something about the nvidia drivers! :)

Now, I'm still experimenting with nouveau and I have enabled it on a
test system that has a rather old Nvidia card (GeForce4 I think) with
tv-out. Everything works fine, but I haven't been able to find any
examples on how to configure tv-out so I can extend my desktop to my
TV.
    
Which card exactly? nv1x-based gf4 cards should be fine but nv2x GPUs
need an external TV encoder chip (and right now we only have a driver
for ch7006 and similar external encoders). So, if your card has one of
the supported encoders, you'll see a "TV-1" connector in the output of
"xrandr".

  
Can anyone help with a demo configuration of Xorg.conf?

    
It's configured as a regular RandR12 output, so it shoul=
d just work with
the minimal xorg.conf [1], if you need to do something fancier like
changing the relative output positions or setting TV-specific
properties, see [2] and [3] (check out the TV-related kernel module
parameters too, see "modinfo nouveau").

  
Also, I want to ask - if there is any chance of using =
two displays
*and* enabling compositing (window transparency effects) - either with
software or hardware acceleration?
    
It should work, but keep in mind that nv1x cards have a rather crude
pitch limitation (you'll get no hw accel if your desktop is larger than
2048x2048).

  
By the way, I am using Xubuntu 10.04.

Regards,
Adrian
