I use the TV out to drive a component projector (with the dongle) for my
MythTV setup. For me, I either want the projector on (and the DFP off), or
vice versa so I use XRandR to switch between them. If you want both of them
on at the same time, replace the NULL values in the metamodes option with the
appropriate values.
