Hi,
I hooked up second monitor to my Nvidia GTX465 card yesterday and
wanted to get dual screen running. Unfortunately, except for using
Twinview which works fine, I've been unable to do it without Twinview.
Twinview itself isn't bad, but I don't like how ever KDE decision I
have to take (logout, settings, etc.) always starts spanned across my
two monitors. That doesn't happen on my dual screen Intel system.
Anyway, I'm attaching both the Twinview and non-Twinview xorg.conf
files. Maybe someone can see possible changes to make the non-Twinview
actually work? Currently it produces video on only the first monitor
to the left. The monitor on the right stays dark. Again, both monitors
work fine when using Twinview with a 3840x1080 desktop.
Thanks,
Mark
Non-Twinview config which only works on one monitor.
