dual monitors - nvidia
I had been putting off trying to test my desktop which has an nvidia card with a video (75ohm RCA) output as well as VGA. I am not using the nvidia driver... output from X while loading: [21.808] (II) LoadModule: nvidia [21.823] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia [21.823] (II) UnloadModule: nvidia [21.823] (II) Unloading nvidia [21.823] (EE) Failed to load module nvidia (module does not exist, 0) [21.823] (II) LoadModule: nouveau [21.823] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so [21.992] (II) Module nouveau: vendor=X.Org Foundation [22.006]compiled for 1.10.0, module version = 0.0.16 [22.006]Module class: X.Org Video Driver [22.006]ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 10.0 and [22.059] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families : [22.059]RIVA TNT(NV04) [22.059]RIVA TNT2 (NV05) [22.059]GeForce 256 (NV10) [22.059]GeForce 2 (NV11, NV15) [22.059]GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18) [22.059]GeForce 3 (NV20) [22.059]GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28) [22.059]GeForce FX (NV3x) [22.059]GeForce 6 (NV4x) [22.059]GeForce 7 (G7x) [22.059]GeForce 8 (G8x) Hmm, doesn't tell me what I have. I just bought the cheapest thing I could find that would fit the board... I am not playing high powered games after all... [22.177] (--) NOUVEAU(0): Chipset: NVIDIA NV05 [22.177] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen sectionDefault Screen Section for depth/fbbpp 24/32 [22.177] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 [22.177] (==) NOUVEAU(0): RGB weight 888 [22.177] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Default visual is TrueColor [22.177] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Using HW cursor [22.342] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 has no monitor section [22.411] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output TV-1 has no monitor section [22.518] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID for output VGA-1 [22.518] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Manufacturer: ACR Model: ad64 Serial#: 196511424 6 Ok, it is an NVIDIA NV05 whatever that is. The end result after many more lines of setup is: [22.603] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 connected [22.604] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output TV-1 disconnected Ok that makes sense. Truth is the only video in device I have is the big heavy TV upstairs... I am not going to move that down to the computer and taking the computer up to the TV is almost as bad... Well the card doesn't have much in the way of options for detecting a monitor being connected... it has to be looking for a load on the output. Standard circuitry would be a source with an internal 75ohm series resister that expects a 75 ohm load... I figured I could probably get away with just shorting it as I couldn't find any terminations just now. Without termination xrandr gives: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 2048 x 2048 VGA-1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 433mm x 271mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1600x1200 60.0 1400x1050 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 1440x900 75.0 59.9 1280x960 60.0 1360x768 59.8 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60072.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x48072.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x40070.1 TV-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Great, that means any of the xrandr tools should be able to deal with it. With the output shorted: ~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 2048 x 2048 VGA-1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 433mm x 271mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1600x1200 60.0 1400x1050 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 1440x900 75.0 59.9 1280x960 60.0 1360x768 59.8 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60072.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x48072.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x40070.1 TV-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800x60050.0 720x57650.0 640x48050.0 720x40050.0 640x40050.0 512x38450.0 So as best I can tell... at least with the NOUVEAU driver, there are no extra issues. The OS was UStudio 11.04 BTW. I have UStudio on the other drive. I will try downloading the genuine nvidia driver there later (this week, prolly not today) and see what I can see. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Hey guys, i would like to send you some pictures i created, a friend of mine suggested me to send the pictures to you because maybe you would like them too and consider using them in a future release. Currently the images are licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA but it would be no problem to relicense the images. Also it is no problem to export them to other file formats. Long story short, the images i would like to show you all: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tschroefel/6368302567/in/set-72157628062295781 http://www.flickr.com/photos/tschroefel/6368302567/in/set-72157628062295781/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/tschroefel/6368303055/in/set-72157628062295781 http://www.flickr.com/photos/tschroefel/6368287261/in/set-72157628062295781 Greetings Tobias PS: I was unsure if file attachements or links would be better, if externally hostet images are not wanted i can send the stuff via mail also ;-) -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

I personally prefer 1 3, and since 23 are of the same synth it may be silly to include both. -Eric -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
