Duel Screen Issue

[unhopeful]

I tried to set up duel screen with the Nvidia server and when i restarted my main screen was black and my second screen ( 32" LCD TV ) was zoom'd away in to the top left corner of my dest top.

Are there any Terminal commands to reset the setting back ?

Right peep's really need to sort this issue out.

I feel your pain!

I am having a lot of problems with a multi-screen setup myself


Check if there is a backup of your xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/



ls -l /etc/X11


Replace the current xorg.conf with the backup


sudo cp /etc/X11/name.of.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf



If not, try

sudo nividia-xconfig


If you make any changes to xorg.conf you have to restart your display manager.

You can stop and start the display manager (for testing) by doing the following:

alt+F1 for terminal
alt+F8 should bring you back to graphical display

in terminal

for gnome


sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
