Hi,
First of all, I'm a linux noob so please, don't expect me to already know the simple stuff. I'm running the 64-bit 9.04 and have been having some problems setting up the screens. My VGA card is a 9600GT and I use dual screens. The Nvidia Xserver Settings doesn't appear to be capable of writing to the xorg.conf file so I copied and pasted the stuff to the file myself. I also deleted some of the old configs in the file. Although, everything seems to be working. I don't know whether I've done anything wrong or not. Here is what's in the xorg.conf.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "LG W2343"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 9600 GT"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Configured Video Device"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0"
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1024x768_60 +0+0, DFP-1: 1024x768_60 +1024+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Could someone, please, take a look at it and tell me whether anything is missing or not. Just a few more question. If I want to change the resolution, which part(s) do I have to edit? Is there anything I could do to get the Nvidia X Setting working?
Best regards,
Roy
