Hi all!
I am searching for some general info regarding the general use of the VGA and DVI ports on my graphics card (chip: nVidia FX 5200 on AGP). My machine has SuSE 8.2 installed (I could upgrade if needed), I use XFree86-4.3.0-120, but I have no special "nv" or "nVidia" driver installed yet (according to "rpm -qa").
With the driver from nvidia you can configure dualhead with SAX. I used them here for FX 5200 (single) and MX 460 (Monitor and TV). I fetched them with YOU -> new login -> ready (for Dual ->SAX) And it's same easy on SuSE 8.2, 9.0, 9,1 and both x86_32 or x86_64 bit. If you hate the propritary crap: Did you try nvtv? I use it for Monitor and TV. But if I see you can both Heads configure for TV, LCD or Monitor. You can use the free and the propritary nvidia driver with nvtv.
I have a Philips 15" TFT (1024x768@60) connected to the VGA port, that runs fine.
I have a Philips 17" TFT, very good picture (-> LG Studioworks is shit, mainly the fonds) -- Ciao Marco, registered GNU/Linux-User 313353
