Slowly the end of the development of TVTool 7.0 is in sight. In that version nView (formerly called TwinView) will be supported on GF2-MX and GF4 cards. This is probably interesting especially for GF2-MX card owners as the standard graphics card drivers don´t offer any overscan support (fullscreen without black borders). Also digitally connected (DVI) flat panel displays will be supported, as well as notebooks with GF2Go chips. This version should be available within this month.
