Using 11.0 x86 64 with kde 4.1 and dual hp w2007h monitors. I want to be able to have both monitors show something on boot. As it is now, only the 1 monitor shows the opensuse boot screen. Is there anyway to have both monitors show this screen on boot (or perhaps a different screen on boot)? These monitors are not in "clone" mode they are in "extended" mode. Is there anyway to do this?
I think that's a problem with the graphics adapter. I have 3 machines with dual monitors. Some of them show the boot on both monitors, some not. Until you have X started, which is about the last thing that happens, the xorg.conf doesn't apply. It is writing, probably in some vga mode, to the adapter.
What graphics adapter are you using?
nVidia 8600
Same chipset on my Vista machine at work, and same single monitor during boot, and while waiting for my password after being awakened from screen saver.
So, in yast->graphics card and monitor, under the "card" heading there is an "options" button and whn i push that button, i get a list of what looks like nvidia card options. Is this where we can make both monitors show a screen at boot time? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
