Utility for changing the NVidia output (Users)

I found an extremely useful tool for computers (especially notebooks) with newer NVidia cards and I succeeded to compile it from source code. It allows to switch the video outputs.
I really missed a way how to redirect output from my notebook to external monitor and now I have it!

17 years old sofware...
Ridiculous.

Well, if somebody wants it, he is probably clever enough to use google translator and use it with my website and find it there.

ah, licence purists strikes...

Anyway congratulation. I don't have any laptop with nv so I personally will not utilize it.

BTW I'm thinking about other nvidiot-issue. I have GTX970 that is HW-capable to display 4k @60Hz output via displayport 1.4 in HBR2 mode. Unfortunately nvidia didn't implemented HBR2 in drivers for WinXP so display at 4k is limited to 30Hz only, but it is in Win7 and Linux drivers. I read that this is because some missing support code in MS windows/libraries. The forceware driver version for XP and W7 is the same but differs in HBR2 support. I don't know if it was disabled in compile time or at runtime. AMD went further and for some radeon they implemented HBR2 support even in WinXP drivers so it is not an unbreakable boundary. I'm not sure if HBR2 is implemented in nouveau opensource linux driver, at least I did't find any reference in sources that I briefly searched but if so, maybe a possibility to backport to WinXP. Or maybe some unreleased magic nvidia code could did it but they later decided to not oficially implement it to WinXP drivers...

Just for a curiosity I tested it on my desktop with GTX970 and wonder that the program still works some way, it detected available outputs and I can switch between DVI and CRT but not use both at same time, it reported max output devices = 1. Here's list of all outputs:

Available Devices:
Device Index Device Name
------------ -----------
00 TMDS1
01 CRT1
02 TMDS2
03 TMDS3
05 DP1
06 TMDS4
15 RSVD1

It seems like it works with some non Nvidia chipsets as well, it works with my laptop too, unfortunately it only detects one pipe and only allows me to use one monitor at once. But where did you find it? According to the Readme file there must be some newer version with more advanced features.
