[GD-General] API for enabling TV out ?

[Jason R. <jr...@im...>]

Hi,
 
We have a system with an nVidia 7600 GS card. 
 
This card has a lovely TV out feature that we'd like to make use of but
unfortunately we cant ask our users to use the nVidia 'nView' application to
switch it on and off. 
 
Is there a way to enable TV out without using the nView application ? Is
there a API for this kind of thing ? Is it maybe included in DirectX and
I've just not found it in the docs ?
 
All help is very much appreciated :-)
 
Regards,
 
-Jason

Isn't this a multi-monitor issue in fact? How is enabling the TV
different than enabling a second monitor? I don't have the mm code at
hand, but I have a "disable the second monitor" code snippet at work.
I can send it over to you tomorrow, if that will do. But it is
Win32-only, of course. Not sure if gd-general is exactly the right
list for this...
