Laptop: dell E6510 Gentoo: ~amd64 Graphics: nvidia VVS 3100M I am unable to drive the VGA output. Symptoms include
* Executing "xrandr" does not mention LVDS or VGA (and using --output VGA gives a warning that VGA doesn't exist) * Pushing Fn-F8 produces a "p" (the keycap of f8 shows in blue a picture of a laptop and a monitor) instead of showing the screen on the other display. The xorg.conf file generated by nvidia-xconfig (below) is fairly simple. I just added the module section at the end. Any help would be appreciated. allan ================================================================ # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeis...@builder58) Thu Apr 22 20:35:23 PDT 2010 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "Files" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from data in "/etc/conf.d/gpm" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" 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 "Unknown" HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Module" # Load "dri" load "glx" EndSection
