[mythtvnz] Hardware Recommendations

[Brett Miller]

Do not have 3 screens available but I have the component cable connected 
to TV as well as VGA.
The nVidia X server settings config utility (xorg.conf file masher) 
shows 3 screens: DVI DFP, VGA CRT & TVout (component).
My xorg.conf file does not enable X session for  TVout screen.

My VGA CRT screen does not support EDID.
The component cable connection does not either.
I believe the nVidia driver can determine the 75ohm termination on the 
component connection therefore presence of screen.
The old AGP nVidia mx440 card did this for sure..

I'll try to enable the 3rd screen & see that all 3 are 
independent...might take me some time tho..
