Nvidia plays with Xinerama using it's proprietary technology called Twinview. You will have to add a couple of lines to XF86Config. Under the Driver section (device="nvidia") you will need to add Option TwinView "enabled" There are a few other options you will need to add - they are too "setup specific" for me to go over all of them. The readme for the nvidia driver is located in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496/README.gz. Check Appendix I for all the instuctions on setting this up. Make sure you include everything it tells you for this to work correctly. - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7D81740A -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/pX8kZosHVX2BdAoRAsUPAJ9CxcNOPIfL/zmn1OtMr44QIBrxKACeJe+K lpoGBZmf0TEzsaRLhlksRtQ= =DfNu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
