Hi,
I'm using SUSE 9.2, and have a machine equipped with a dual head nVidia adapter.
This works al fine, but when I run a 'hwinfo --monitor' on the system I only see *one* monitor. Is it possible to detect multiple monitors? I know it is not depending on the nVidia, because I've got the same thing with a Matrox.
Anyone an idea?

I have a few Matrox D400/D450 DH on my boxes, none of which reports the second screen. On one of the systems its due to using a RGB cable (with bnc connectors) instead. The VGA connector has all the "talkback" lines, and that cable doesn't. But as far as the other cards go..? I haven't installed any M$ OS on them so i cant tell if Windows reports right. I THINK that the card isn't reporting the second head, but i am not 100% on this. All i did when i set my system up was to manually select monitor and all was ready to go. Note: Sax detected all heads, but set the second one as a "safe" generic VGA. -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com/users/rikjoh Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------
