Booting to Win wont change the settings in Linux.

I don't care if it's a KDE or just a straight > linux solution. The place to look is your xorg.conf The following are the changes I made to my XF86Config (thats not X Org, therefore it might be slitely different) Add these lines to the "Device" section # Option "TwinView" # Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50" # Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60" # Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768; 800x600, 800x600; 640x480, 640x480;" # Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE" # Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G" Change as appropriate. I have to admit, that I do not use the TwinView option, but decided to have a second x server runnig on my TV. Therefore I cant ensure, these settings work I hope this helps.
