Ok so my graphics card has 3 ports on the back (two DVI and one S-Video).

I have two monitors plugged into the DVI sockets and I wanna use the S-Video socket to connect a 42" TV that we have in our kitchen.

Basically I want to mirror the first display and the S-Video port (meaning the desktop would span across both monitors, but the TV would show whatever is on the 1st monitor).

I tried to do it but the nVidia control panel woulden’t really let me do it…

Is there any way to do this?

I was thinking of getting a DVI splitter (to split the 1st DVI socket) and then a DVI to S-Video adapter…
