Does the nouveau driver support dual monitors ? How ?
Kernel 2.6.29.6-217 installed this morning on my computer during a yum update. There was no kmod-nvidia package. My computer rebooted using a different video driver. nouveau ? Its all good except that I lost my dual display functionality and I need it back. Assuming the driver running is nouveau, how does one set up dual display functionality ? I ask this because a while back I read that using xorg.conf for setting things up is kind of taboo these days. (This was in reference to initializing the Synaptics touchpad.) So... how do I determine what video driver my system is currently using ? (lsmod ?) How do I configure it to drive the second display ?

I suggest using akmod-nvidia instead, from rpmfusion. This will rebuild the module during boot, if needed (and if possible). Assuming the driver running is nouveau, how does one set up dual display functionality ? I am not sure that nouveau supports this yet, and on which cards, but it also depends on the type of dual display you want. Cloned display? Xinerama? Same or different resolutions on different outputs? Which outputs specifically (the TV-out is not supported by nouveau yet, afaik)? Using one or more graphics cards? You need to be more specific, nouveau is still under heavy development, some things work, some don't. I ask this because a while back I read that using xorg.conf for setting things up is kind of taboo these days. (This was in reference to initializing the Synaptics touchpad.) Why taboo? Though, when I need some kind of acrobatics with the display, I usually use xrandr, it is fairly easier and doesn't require root access. So... how do I determine what video driver my system is currently using ? (lsmod ?) /var/log/Xorg.0.log How do I configure it to drive the second display ? (1) yum install akmod-nvidia (2) man xrandr (3) wait a couple of days until kmod-nvidia appears in updates I would try these options in that order.

dual monitors work for me on F11 with a quadro NVS 290 card On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 11:28 AM, Linuxguy123 linuxguy...@gmail.com wrote: Kernel 2.6.29.6-217 installed this morning on my computer during a yum update.
