I am working through issues with my dual head setup, and really struggling to get my system to agree that my LCD monitor/TV can display 1024x768. I know it can do it because I was able to do so when I still had Windows as dual boot on this hardware. In Linux, the best I can get is 640x480. At one point I actually had it up to 800x600 using the auto settings, but it stopped using that resolution on a reboot a while back and I haven't been able to get it set since. So, what I want... two independent desktops (which I have now), with Screen0 running at 1680x1050 (which I have) and Screen1 running at 800x600 or preferably 1024x768 (but right now all I can get is 640x480). I am assuming (not knowledgeable at this level of tinkering) that the resolution is related to the metamodes settings... but... what do I put there? (Hmmm maybe this question is better asked on the nVidia forums?) Hardware... - nVidia 8600GT using the nVidia proprietary drivers (169.12) - Screen0 is an Acer AL2016W running at 1680x1050 - Screen1 is a Toshiba 32WL56P with a VGA input, capable of displaying 1024x768 Relevant sections of my xorg.conf (as configured with nvidia-settings) -------------------- Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "glx" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Acer" ModelName "AL2016W" HorizSync 31.0 - 84.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 86.0 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Toshiba" ModelName "32WL56P" HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce 8600 GT" BusID "PCI:5:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard1" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce 8600 GT" BusID "PCI:5:0:0" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "0" Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0" Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0; CRT-0: 1600x1024 +0+0; CRT-0: 1400x1050 +0+0; CRT-0: 1280x1024 +0+0; CRT-0: 1280x960 +0+0; CRT-0: 1152x864 +0+0; CRT-0: 1024x768 +0+0; CRT-0: 800x600 +0+0; CRT-0: 640x480 +0+0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Videocard1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "0" Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0; CRT-1: 320x240 +0+0" EndSection -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
