Geforce4 MX 440 Dual Monitor Setup Problems
Hey Guys, The last time I ran a linux box was over four years ago, when I ran slackware on a little compaq. I have just been able to get back on the wagon and must say alot has changed since then, and I'm a little rusty still. That in mind here is my issue: I have been trying to setup my Geforce4 MX 440 dual head card on my new SUSE 9.1 64bit system. I cannot get the card to be recognized as a dual monitor card for multi heading. I have installed the latest NVidia 64bit drivers. There is only one recognized driver for the card, and so it does not provide multi heading display support. I have been told that it should be replicating the card automaticly. I have setup xinerama, and tried replicating the card in Sax2 (with the type set to secondary display), and have had no luck. Checked forums, and had my guru friends over to check it out. I have not had any luck, and don't know where else to look or what to do.

All you need to do to get dual-head support with nvidia cards is to have their driver installed (compiled for your kernel), and a few Options in XF86Config file. 1st make sure you have nvidia driver successfully compiled for 9.1 -make sure you install kernel source -make sure you have latest updates for kernel and source -use online update AFTER all other kernel updates are done to download/install nvidia drivers (there will be a log in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log) once that log file says success, change XF86Config so that driver "nvidia" instead of driver "nv" if you have all up to this point, you will see nvidia logo on X startup. Now you can configure Dual Head with <adjust for your monitor(s)) Option "TwinView" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-94" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-160" Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, 1024x768" On Monday 17 May 2004 02:11 pm, Leif Sorensen wrote:
