When running X (xorg 6.8.2-r4) in dual head, with the nvidia (1.0.6629-r4) driver I can not get a high resolution. I am using the twinview setup, to tv-out, on the nvidvia driver. I have it for 1248x1024 in the xorg.conf, but it looks more like 800x600.

i think your confuguration is not nvidia driver conform.
check the nvidia readme: | Code: | | /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-*/README.gz |
and maybe this wiki:3d linux

| I used to have that card before upgrading, it only supports low resolutions and looks absolutley terrible on any TV i've ever hooked up to it. |

| Well, on the TV it looks fine. And when I am using the nv driver I can get the higher resolution, but no tv-out |

You still need to add 1280x1024 to the Modes section for it to work. |
