Hi, |
| 2 |
I hooked up second monitor to my Nvidia GTX465 card yesterday and |
| 3 |
wanted to get dual screen running. Unfortunately, except for using |
| 4 |
Twinview which works fine, I've been unable to do it without Twinview. |
| 5 |
Twinview itself isn't bad, but I don't like how ever KDE decision I |
| 6 |
have to take (logout, settings, etc.) always starts spanned across my |
| 7 |
two monitors. That doesn't happen on my dual screen Intel system. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Anyway, I'm attaching both the Twinview and non-Twinview xorg.conf |
| 10 |
files. Maybe someone can see possible changes to make the non-Twinview |
| 11 |
actually work? Currently it produces video on only the first monitor |
| 12 |
to the left. The monitor on the right stays dark. Again, both monitors |
| 13 |
work fine when using Twinview with a 3840x1080 desktop. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Thanks, |
| 16 |

Non-Twinview config which only works on one monitor. |
