Hi all, I have upgraded my old core2 to an i7 on a x58 gigabyte MB. Lots faster .... but I am still using my older nvidia card (GF119 [GeForce GT 610] Nouveau driver), storage and original gentoo install.
The problem is that I have two monitors - a 1920x1080 on DVI and a 1280x1050 on vga. On boot up until logging into the xfce desktop, the 1280x1050 resolution dominates. I have changed the boot through to end of the initrd level using grub, and I can overide the X Windowes desktop using xrandr. Whats left after logging in is an invisible bounding box of 1280x1050 on the desktop that I cant move icons out of, and the console on the 1920x1080 monitor is a 1280x1050 window on the 1920x1080 sized screen :( The strange thing is that this all worked perfectly on the old hardware (basicly just a motherboard/memory/powersupply swap with the same videocard and gentoo system) Is anyone able to offer suggestions?
