I updated to Sid a few weeks ago to get newer printer drivers so I could
print, and lost my dual-monitor setup in the process.
I've tried a handful of different video cards that I've been able to get
hold of (none of them dual-head), and simply can not recover my
dual-monitor setup.
Most recently I've gotten two identical video cards:
04:06.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX
4000] (rev c1)
04:07.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX
4000] (rev c1)
and in researching possible fixes, found the following in the output of
"dmesg | grep nouveau". My question: Is this the way it should look, or
are the 101 instances of PFIFO being angry and failure to allocate a
framebuffer a problem?
If it's not a problem, why can't I get my dual-monitor setup back?
Thanks!
