Hello there!!
I'm trying to set up 2 seperate X screens on my Geforce 2 MX 32mb graphics card - using nvidia driver - readme:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li....0-5336/README - APPENDIX R is what I'm trying to do...
both monitors work correctly, I tested them invidually...
the bus ID should be right - /sbin/lspci gave 1:00.0
currently I am using the config (below).. but my right monitor (switched on) is just blank...
On Fedora Core 1 (updated) - using GNOME
I was hoping one of you guys could point out where I went wrong...
here's my XF86Config (sorry it's a long scroll):
# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
