I just bought a digital TV and I'm trying to configure my computer to
use it. My monitor, a Viewsonic VX922 is connected in analog mode and
the TV with HDMI. I used nvidia-settings as root to make the set-up
and it didn't complain about the 2 different types of connections,
analog and digital.
For now, the TV show all the boot process except the login screen but
stops showing the desktop image. Nothing works afterwards. If I unplug
the monitor, everything works fine, I get the login screen on the TV,
but when I put a film in the DVD reader, there's no sound.
My video card also has a DVI output that I could use. If analog and
digital don't work together, could I use the DVI output? The monitor
doesn't have HDMI, just DVI.
