I believe the problem here is that the graphics card only supports an<br>overlay on the primary head (:2.0 in this case). If you can try<br>swapping the heads (So the TV is :2.0 and the monitor is :2.1) this<br>should solve the problem.

Robert, thank you so much! Swapping heads made quite a difference.<br>
<br>
Both Watch TV and playback of recorded programs have both audio and video.<br>
The monitor can be used (while the TV is showing video) for whatever other<br>
work that needs to be done.<br>
<br>
It will take a little getting used to, since the video plays on the monitor, too.<br>
But the simple KDE key-combo of Ctrl+F2 switches to another desktop.<br>
The KDE panel appears on the TV screen at all times (with MythTV menus
or video) but there must be a way to hide that permanently.<br>
<br>
Anyway, again thanks for the help. I had just about given up on getting it to<br>
work, going back to using two different /etc/X11/xorg.conf files, swapping them<br>
when I wanted to work on the mythtv login. Now, I won't have to THAT anymore.<br>
