HDMI dualscreen + sound

I have a Dell XPS m1330, with arch linux and xmonad. At home I got a LCD TV which I want to connect to my computer via a HDMI cable. I want to have both sound and picture and I don't want to clone the picture.
So first I want to know if it is possible? and if it is I would be very thankful for some points on how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance!

Re: HDMI dualscreen + sound

Don't have any answers for you...but I would like to know this as well, so I can configure my parent's notebook when I visit them next.

Re: HDMI dualscreen + sound

I have the same problem and the same machine.

My card is an intel x3100.

Googling didn't provided useful information.

Re: HDMI dualscreen + sound

Solved it by myslef.. party.

"sudo nvidia-settings" was able to find the screen even connected with HDMI. Ready to use. Feel free to mess me if you need help.

hi!

nvidia-settings can not find a monitor plugged in via hdmi port.
I got the Studio XPS 1340, so it's a dual-core card.
This is my xorg.conf:

I could really use some help on this, as nothing I plug in over the hdmi port gets recognized. It's quite annoying.
I used some settings from the wiki for the configuration of my xorg.conf.

When using this configuration I get some errors in the log, complaining about the second core (that's what I guess) not being able to be initialised by the nvidia driver. Very strange:

Re: HDMI dualscreen + sound

king.flasher.dave - please do not post in old threads. See section 9 here for details, and while you're there, read the rest of the guidelines too.

Closing.
