Re: nVidia GeForce 6600 GT PCI Express - working?
I am using Nvidia's TwinView/Xinerama in XF86Config-4: Option NvAGP 1 Option TwinView true Option SecondMonitorHorizSync30.0-75.0 Option SecondMonitorVertRefresh 50.0-85.0 Option MetaModes 1280x1024, 1280x1024; 1280x1024, 1280x1024; Option TwinViewOrientation RightOf Option Xinerama on (in Screen section), and it works exactly as Lennart describes (panels on one screen etc.). I haven't managed to play any games apart from tuxracer yet, but it presents a problem in the fact that the game displays at 640x480 (or 800x600 i think) in between the two screens, so half the game is on the First VDU (video display unit), the other half is on the Second VDU.

I thought there was an option in TwinView to provide xinerama compatible features so window managers would know the actual layout of the screen. I thought the main difference was support for opengl on both screens or not, and video overlay support and such. But given I only have a single port nvidia, I can't try it out myself. I can only read the README. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of quot;unsubscribequot;. Trouble?

Re: nVidia GeForce 6600 GT PCI Express - working?
Works, thank you! =8) I had to comment out #Section ServerFlags # Option Xinerama #EndSection though. It's about moving several things to uncommon places it seems: I have removed all the TwinView stuff from the Device section and moved it to the Screen section, following your advice. Metamodes are 1280x1024, 1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768; 800x600,800x600; 640x480,640x480; now and work nicely, also video acceleration/overlay works on both screens. Oh and nvidia-settings of course! Ok, as this is an amd64 list, we should stop this now I guess (or move to debian-user. NOT! =;) Sönke

I have the such a card running I had some problems in the beginning and patched the x-server packages. look in the archive of the mailing list regarding this problem.
