I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and i just wanna say congratz. It's awesome :)
But, as always.. Things can get a little tricky along the road to the perfect setup :)
Well, as you might get from the title, what I want to accomplish is:
TwinView
DualScreen
Rotation (90 degrees right) on the secondary display.
Now, I've been fooling a round for a while, but without any decent results.
I've got
Nvidia 8800 GTS 512
Driver: "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 185)"
And this is my xorg.conf file
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
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 "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Samsung SyncMaster"
HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 60.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 8800 GTS 512"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "1"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0"
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +1680+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
The way I see it, my problem is that when you go for TwinView, the screens have the same id (screen0), which makes it a lot harder for someone like me to rotate just one of the screens.
Thanks in advance, Hope some of you got some knowledge on how to accomplish my dream setup :)
EDIT: Added an image that shows how my screens are set up.
