I setup twinview dual screen using nVidia proprietary driver (256.35) in 11.3 KDE 4.4.4, generate xorg.conf and add some lines below in Section "Screen":
Option "TwinView" "True" Option "RenderAccel" "True" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "FPD,FPD" Option "MetaModes" "nvidia-auto-select, nvidia-auto-select"
I'm using nVidia GeForce 9400M.
Once you've got the nvidia drivers installed and loaded (see my earlier post, but I'll repeat it here: do # nvidia-config) you'll get the following menu item System > Configuration > Configure NVIDIA X server settings. From there you can set up twin heads. I've had dual heads running for about two years here, and it still works under oS 11.3 Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.3, Kernel 2.6.34.12-desktop, KDE 4.4.4 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 8GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9600GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
