have you had any luck with a clean xorg.conf? if you make a copy of your xorg.conf and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg that will clean up your conf file and after a restart the xserver will choose the options for you. i use the ati proprietary driver and regulary check the radeonhd driver on my desktop and haven't had the same issues with a dual head setup. it just worked without having to edit my xorg at all. there is also an aticonfig --initial for the proprietary driver and i'm sure nvidia must have something similar but i only have AMD and Intel cards to test on. > what would i use? > > Mitchell > > > > Section "Monitor" > Identifier "Generic Monitor" > HorizSync 30.0 - 65.0 > VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 > Option "DPMS" > EndSection > > Section "Screen" > Identifier "Default Screen" > Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]" > Monitor "Generic Monitor" > DefaultDepth 24 > Option "TwinView" "true" > Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf" > Option "MetaModes" "1920x1200,1280x1024" > Option "Coolbits" "1" > SubSection "Display" > Depth 1 > Modes "1920x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 4 > Modes "1920x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 8 > Modes "1920x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 15 > Modes "1920x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 16 > Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > EndSubSection > SubSection "Display" > Depth 24 > Modes "1920x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" > > > >> here is my xorg.conf, I haven't tidied it up, there are a lot of things >> commented out from my experimenting and from the evolution of the setup. >> >> Section "InputDevice" >> Identifier "Generic Keyboard" >> Driver "kbd" >> Option "XkbRules" "xorg" >> Option "XkbModel" "pc104" >> Option "XkbLayout" "us" >> EndSection >> >> Section "InputDevice" >> Identifier "Configured Mouse" >> Driver "mouse" >> EndSection >> >> Section "Device" >> Identifier "Configured Video Device" >> Driver "ati" >> #Driver "radeonhd" >> Option "Monitor-VGA-0" "L_CRT >> Option "Monitor-DVI-0" "R_LCD" >> #Option "DDCMode" "TRUE" #Force to use the modes queried from the >> connected monitor.
