Problem setting the resolution of second monitor (TV)

[smolloy]

I've connected my TV the S-Video output of my graphics card (GeForce 7300 GT), and have managed to get an image on it in dual-head mode by playing around with the sax2 module in yast (I'm using SuSE). The problem is that the maximum resolution that will work from the drop-down list is 1024x768, and this leaves me with the bottom and right hand side cut off my TV display. None of the higher res options work.

Can anyone give me any hints on how to use sax2 to adjust the resolution to alow me to see my entire display on the TV?

Thanks.

I think you'll have to lower the resolution. TVs have lower resolutions that ordinary computer monitors, except maybe ones that support HD. Do you mind telling us what TV you're using?

Thanks for the reply oxygen.

My TV is a General Electrics model 27GT621.

I can set lower resolutions, but then I see even less of the display on the screen. Perhaps there's a way to change the physical size of the image it sends through the TVout? This would allow me to use 1024x768, but shrink the size of the image so it fits on the screen.

I think I know what you're on about, what have you set as the refresh rate?

I haven't specified a refresh rate, so I suppose it's using the default (if there is one).

I'd have a look into that, the refresh rate gave me quite a bit of grief before.
