Public bug reported:
Currently advanced options, like enabling TV out and choosing primary
display can be only done in driver specific configuration binaries
(nvidia-settings). Until Screen resolution preference dialog gains
support for these kind of options (or will it ever?) Jockey could
suggest installing nvidia-settings package when the proprietary driver
is selected.
The sad state of the things is that for enable TV-out the user has to
Google with various keywords (nvidia tv out). There is nothing in Ubuntu
itself which hints how to do this - TV out is a very common operations
nowadays. The first search hits about nvidia TV out refer to
instructions from 2005 how to hack your X.org. These instructions are
very deprecated and NVidia Settings has a sane GTK powered configuration
tool.
Jockey, as it already is very helpful, could give the user some
suggestion how to push forward to configure his/her proprietary drivers.
