Notes:
- If you want to use standard (Desktop) TVout or dualhead modes, you need Dualhead Setup. You can download this application from BeBits.
- If you want to use the VCD or DVD dualhead clone (Video) TVout modes on G400 with driver V0.15 and up, or on G450 or G550 with driver V0.14 and up, you can download a simple command-line tool called VideoScreen for now from the tools page on this site. For driver V0.15 and up you need the updated V6 version of this tool. Look for information on using it correctly here.
