Hi Filippo, Guido: After Filippo post about using an external monitor with the nv driver and xorg I've tried with an Apple cinema display 20". Modified my xorg.conf as Filippo suggested...I got a corrupted graphic display in the 'internal' monitor of the laptop (I expected it)...but no output on the cinema-display external monitor. I booted the machine with the minidvi-to-dvi adaptor plugged...the led of the external monitor flashed several times when X was starting but in the end it remained black and the led stayed off. The only difference I can think of is tha Filippo mentioned the minidvi-to-vga adaptor instead of the minidvi-to-dvi that I've used with this monitor. Anyone knows if this kind of monitors (Apple cinema-display) work with xorg and the nv driver? Thanks for your help A.
