I need some advice on how to turn on RANDR.
I have a few systems with nVidia GPU 5xx and 6xx series. Latest kmod
drivers, multiple monitors with Xinerama enabled.
Newer systems work fine but I have once that been upgraded since before
the 2 were compatible. I have libXrandr installed but it doesn't seem
to be enabled.
This reminds me of:
Would someone point me to a link that explains what I have to do?

Any particular reason why you use xinerama? Usually you are better off
just using randr for multiple displays.
Regarding xorg.conf: Try to remove it entirely and let X11 and your
desktop environment figure everything out.
You need an xorg.conf for the kmod NVIDIA driver.
Thank you for the replies Phil, Florian.
Why do I use Xinerama? Good question, I have set up my displays with
the nVidia X-server settings on the Admin menu and Xinerama was the only
way I could figure out how to get one virtual desktop. This might be
another remnant of constant upgrades from 6.1 to last week but using
that tool I don't see a way to switch.
I will try removing xorg.conf and seeing if it will fix it. If not
where would one find "an xorg.conf for the kmod NVIDIA driver"?
thanks again,
Joe
