I had trouble getting the older ones there to install because of dpkg conflicts. So I installed Etch and it gave similar results: (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1600x1200" (exceeds panel dimensions) (II) NV(0): Not using mode "1600x1200" (no mode of this name) Does it work better if you plug only one of the monitors? Can you try > both monitor alone, and try each of them plugged on each output? I have now tried all 4 combinations and the monitors always come up with 1280x1024 rather than 1600x1200. By the way, if you're feeling a bit adventurous, you could you the > "nouveau" driver in experimental. > I tried to install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, which wouldn't install without linux-nouveau-modules. To resolve this I worked out (from reading around) that I should install drm-modules-source and run 'm-a a-i drm-modules'. This failed so I followed the advice in bug 496134 to get it working. With driver "nouveau", by default, I get 1600x1200 on both screens! xrandr even sees the individual screens although they show the same output by default, and aren't usefully combined into a dualhead large desktop. I get the following error on trying to use xrandr. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it looks like I might be able to address this with a "virtual" line in xorg.conf. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --left-of DVI-D-1 xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1600x1600 (desired size 3200x1200) Cheers, Andrew.
