Making dual monitors to worik with Linux was what I dealt with today. I was even bribed with a golden star by my professor; if i found a solution to it! And guess what; I go it !! :D
Make sure you are root mode.
First make sure that the driver is propely installed. Run the command in terminal
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
Now comming to the configuration; type in the terminal
or if kdesu is not supported replace it by "gksudo"
$ gksudo nvidia-settings
This will make the Nvidia X Server Configuration Module load. From there goto
X Server Display Configuration
There select option TwinView in the Configuration Tag.
Click Apply. And you are done!
Don’t forget to click "Save to X Configuration File".
CiaOo...

ReplyDeleteThis work but the resolution of my second screen is stuck at 1024x768. I have tried forcing this in the xorg.conf but no success. Any hints what could be wrong? Is the problem more likely to be with the Nvidia driver or the xorg.conf
