Re: [openthinclient-user] Video card with DVI and VGA output

2016-10-04 Thread Jörn Frenzel 
Hi,

yes, working with a second graphic card can sometimes be verry difficult 
on Linux an so openthinclient too.

In some combinations (e.g. onboard intel and nvidia plugged in PCIe) 
you'll need to prevent the onboard adapters modules from loading 
(blacklisting). Benjamins problem sounds like this.

Some information in advance:

Base-Version 2.1-19 (avaiable from repo manager-beta, yes beta - you 
have been warned :-) ) has four nvidia packages inside - 96, 173, 304, 
340. This is quite much and exemplary.

Getting closer to jessie, we expect the next base 2.1-20 to be delivered 
with nvidia packages 304 and 340 only. What ever this means for you. 
Consult the lists of supported cards from jessie.

Regards, Jörn

Re: [openthinclient-user] Video card with DVI and VGA output

2016-10-04 Thread Frank Burnham 
Well, It depends on the card in, version of OTC you are using, and how you've 
configured OTC:

I've run into this before. OTC has limited NVidia support and only on the 
latest release. If you're using an older version of OTC, you'll need to use 
another card having no NVidia going chips. AMD, or older ATI, model cards 
without NVidia chips on them, work fine.

You may also need to try different settings on the card configuration in OTC 
from just DVI or VGA settings to DVI-0 and VGA-0. I can check my OTC config 
later.

The release notes of the latest OTC version discusses which specific NVidia 
builds are supported in the release.

Regards,

Frank

Hello,

is there a problem with video cards which have VGA and DVI output? If i use 
such cards I get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left upper 
corner. When I look in the Xorg.log I see that no monitors were found. Is there 
a reason or some configurations wrong?
