5 I don't think I have this problem here but I'd need to emerge a
6 specific game that runs full screen to test. Could you please provide
7 the name of something easy to emerge and test. I ran a game called 0ad
8 a couple of months ago and I was able to make it full screen on one
9 monitor at that time.

11 Also, whereas I think you have two monitors, I have 3 hooked to 2
12 _different_ Nvidia cards. (a GTX465 driving 2 monitors and an 8400GS
13 driving 1) Since installing the second VGA _none_ of the KDE OpenGL
14 effects have worked. However a friend has two 8400GS cards installed
15 driving 3 monitors and OpenGL works fine for him on all 3 monitors so
16 I figure that's an Nvidia driver issue when the cards are different
17 types.

19 Anyway, I'm attaching my xorg.conf file in case there's something of
20 value there for you. I don't claim it's a very good xorg.conf file but
21 it seems to mostly work for this machine.

23 Please trim responses.
