got a fresh copy of 9.04 and it's amazing,
installed nvidia drivers from the restricted drivers.
i have an nvidia 7600 GS with one VGA port and one DVI port.
i have two identical Dell 1901FP monitors connected with VGA cables (one is using a DVI to VGA converter) that should be doing 1280x1024.
ok, i can turn on both monitors with ease with nvidia's 'x server settings' program. the monitor with the dvi to vga adapter is detected perfectly and the resolution is correct. the monitor plugged directly into the vga is called "CRT-0" and has a resolution of 1024x768.
here is the xorg.conf:

EndSection
now, i've tried changing that "nvidia-auto-select" to 1280x1024 and the +1024 to +1280 but that makes the monitor not work.
can someone throw me a bone? :confused::confused:
