Hi, I have a thinkpad T430 with nvidia NVS 5400 M graphics card. I have two HP monitors, where one is connected via the VGA port and another via the DVI port in the docking station. However, the opensource drivers recognize only the VGA port. The monitor on the DVI port is not even recognized. I want to use only the two desktop monitors side by side as a single big monitor and do not want the laptop monitor to be used when the laptop is in the docking station. I could get this setup working in Windows without any effort. But in openSUSE 13.1 with the default opensource driver it failed. With the proprietary nvidia driver from the nvidia repository in the openSUSE repository, I could get both the monitors detected. But the driver is very buggy. It freezes the entire display randomly and I figured that it was doing so whenever it had to change the display brightness for some reason. Also, another big problem is, it fails to boot everytime and hangs the machine after the "setting up Plymouth screen" (or some such message) in the bootscreen. If I boot via the "Integerated graphics" setting in the bios to recover from this cpu freeze on boot, I could realize that it was hanging during the "setting up acpi display brightness" thing again. I am not too sure if reporting a bug on the nvidia driver will make any progress at all, considering that even Linus has not had much progress with nvidia. Also I am not even sure where to report the bug for the nvidia proprietary driver. Now, is it possible to get the opensource driver to get the multiple monitor support working somehow ? I do not mind installing developmental patches or custom kernels if needed. Any help ? Thanks.
