So I'm new to Ubuntu. What drew me in was the Ubuntu Studio, since I'm a supposed "recording artist." When I use windows xp, I use two monitors. I've managed to get both my monitors working, but not in any functional manner. I have a ProView 1280x1024 LCD monitor and a random CRT 1280x1024 running on a Nvidia GeForce 7600GT. I'm using ubuntustudio 8.10.
So, my issue is that when i edit my xorg.conf, i can get my LCD monitor to display in native resolution, but my CRT will only display up to 1024x768. I really need them to both be the same resolution. I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem and would REALLY appreciate any help and advice.
Here is my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "EVGA"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT"
Option "TwinView" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "UseEdidFreqs" "true"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024;1280x1024,NULL"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-110"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-160"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "2560x1024" "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
So, once again, my primary monitor will run in 1280x1024 resolution, but my secondary CRT will only run up to 1024x768 in auto in the nvidia control panel.
If it helps at all, they are both plugged into the DVI ports on the card via VGA-DVI converters.
