Any time I've wanted to have a reliable *working* dual-head setup with NVidia proprietary drivers I had to manually hack the xorg.conf file (until I found the NVidia configuration tool, which works a treat for that), especially with older monitors where the auto-detect doesn't work too well.
Is that with 11.2? or with previous versions/installs? I've set up dual head using 2xTFT monitors and it's been fine. I've not had to use the nVidia config too at all anymore... just the KDE4 config tool.
I also have an LCD TV that has 1366x768 native resolution but there are only 2 resolution/refresh rate combos that it will properly display from the VGA input: 1360x768x60Hz (no, that isn't a typo, and I'm yet to find a graphics driver that will natively support 1360x768 instead of 1366x768) or 1680x1050x75Hz (no that isn't a typo either). It isn't recognized by Sax2 or X. Unfortunately both laptops have Intel graphics chips so I can't use the NVidia config utility, so I had to generate the modeline manually and again, hack the xorg.conf file. Otherwise, no 2nd monitor.
Hmmm I have something similar here... I'll give it a try with my KDE4.4 laptop... be an interesting test to see if the autodetect will work for me. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
