Hi, I'll post a little trick for those that use two different monitors alternatively, or have an nvidia card and need to activate/deactivate it, without using sax. In other words, what I'm going to explain is how to merge two or more "/etc/X11/XF86Config" files in one. I assume the originals XF86Config files do work, as defined by sax or whatever. Example 1. You can have more than one "Monitor" section, simply naming them with different identifiers. Section "Monitor" # --- CRT monitor --- Identifier "Monitor[0]" VendorName "IIYAMA" ... UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Monitor" # --- TFT monitor --- Identifier "Monitor[1]" VendorName "--> VESA" ... UseModes "Modes[1]" EndSection Note that as the capabilities of each monitor are different, each one uses a different "Modes" section: Section "Modes" # --- Only one modeline, it's a tft --- Identifier "Modes[1]" Modeline "1024x768" 78.65 1024 1056 1184 1312 768 772 776 792 -HSync -V EndSection Section "Modes" # --- Modos que soporta el monitor IIyama --- Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1280x1024" 158.47 1280 1344 1600 1664 1024 1024 1039 1070 Modeline "1024x768" 61.19 1024 1040 1216 1328 768 768 775 802 ... EndSection And finally, in the Section "Screen", you define which one is really connected: Section "Screen" ... Identifier "Screen[0]" # =====> Choose driver. 0 is nv, 1 is NVidia Device "Device[1]" # =====> Choose monitor. 0 is the eIIyama, 1 is the TFT Monitor "Monitor[1]" EndSection Example 2 What about the NVidia vs nv drivers? The same idea, using the section "device" (but selected in "screen" as shown above): Section "Device" # ---- Driver "abierto", o sea, GPL --- Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" BoardName "GeForce2 MX/MX 400" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nv" EndSection Section "Device" # --- Driver "cerrado", de NVidia (el binario) --- Identifier "Device[1]" VendorName "NVidia" BoardName "GeForce2 MX/MX 400" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" # Option "sw_cursor" Option "NvAGP" "3" # try 2 then 1 #Option "NvAGP" "2" # use agpgart #Option "NvAGP" "1" # use nvidia agp #Option "NvAGP" "0" # disable agp # Option "NoLogo" "true" Screen 0 Option "Rotate" "off" EndSection Simple, isn't it? No need to have different files, one for each combination (four, in my case). Of course, I suppose sax would cough on such a configuration, but... I can't have everything :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
