NVidia calls it TwinView, XFree's version ix Xinerama. The config below is for Xinerama, the TwinView stuff is commented out. Both Screens (DFPs in this case) are connected to one card, it's a GF5700 AGP with two DVI ports. I'm running this on i386. TwinView has one advantage: it's possible to assign nvidia-settings to both screens. The downer is, applications and your window manager don't recognize the two screens. To them, it's only one very-wide screen. With Xinerama you can eg. maximize to only one screen and KDE panels (GNOME ones as well I guess) can be assigned to exactly one screen. In my case this outweighs the benefits of TwinView. yours, Sönke -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X Window System server configuration file) Section "ServerFlags" Option "Xinerama" EndSection # Layout mit Xinerama Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Dual DFP" Screen 0 "Left DFP Screen" Screen 1 "Right DFP Screen" RightOf "Left DFP Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection ## NVidia twinview #Section "ServerLayout" # Identifier "AGPTwinView" # Screen "Screen AGP TwinView" # InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" # InputDevice "Configured Mouse" #EndSection Section "Files" # local font server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "unix/:7100" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" EndSection Section "Module" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "record" Load "speedo" Load "type1" Load "vbe" # removed for nvidia driver: # Load "GLcore" # Load "dri" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "DFP-1" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "DFP-2" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Gainward 980 Port 1" Driver "nvidia" Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "Xinerama" "true" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Gainward 980 Port 2" Driver "nvidia" Option "CRT1Position" "LeftOf" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "Xinerama" "true" Screen 1 EndSection #Section "Device" # Identifier "NV AGP TwinView" # VendorName "nvidia" # Driver "nvidia" # # update this with the PCI id of your card.
