--- Comment #26 from Ben Kevan
It works with nv just fine, however it does not work with nvidia. So it's a limitation with nvidia and not nv IMO. No, this must be a bug in nv driver. For some reason it enables the external output by accident.
If that is the case, every version of nv has been "bugged" since early 10.0 days. Seriously, if outputting to an external monitor without configuration is a bug, then we should support some bugs, because that is how it SHOULD work.
Come on. Don't underestimate a desktop user.
I support thousands of them, you'd be suprised. And just to add, it would be a "Laptop" user, and who wants late night calls from an Executive that goes home and doesn't understand why his external monitor will not come up without some other configuration. His/Her Windows box outputs just fine without more configuration. I will report the bug directly to Nvidia, since to me nv is working correctly and it is the Nvidia driver that is not configured correctly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
