Hi, I've searched the forums to no avail. My problem is as follows:
I'm setting up a new system, I have two monitors, the main one is working fine, but when I activate the second monitor through nvidia-settings it doesn't display an option with the right resolution (that would be 1440x900) so I end up wit a ugly looking second monitor.
My graphics card is:
Nvidia GeForce GTS 450
My xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Samsung SA300/SA350"
HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0

EndSection
Running xrandr gives:
Code:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 3200 x 1080, current 3200 x 1080, maximum 3200 x 1080
default connected 3200x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
3200x1080 50.0*
I've tried some workarounds but I'm not quite there yet. Any help is appreciated
