For Stereophiles and Xineramaphiles, for those that asked me for our Xorg.config file (see below) for running a two screen setup (requires Nvidia Quadro card).
This file is set up for a stereo beamer and a LCD. You have to do some editing of your xorg.conf file (do that by creating a copy and work in that): - exactly duplicate your section "Device" (it should appear twice in the file, i.e., dual head setup configuration) and make sure the following setting appear (including the 3 options listed, they are most relevant): Section "Device" BoardName "Quadro FX 1400" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "IgnoreEDID" Option "AllowDFPStereo" Option "Stereo" "3" Screen 0 VendorName "NVidia" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "Quadro FX 1400" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[1]" Option "IgnoreEDID" Option "AllowDFPStereo" Option "Stereo" "3" Screen 1 VendorName "NVidia" EndSection - Serverlayout has to be edited. This part is not trivial. It matters which device is connected to which port of the card. You have to try and find out for yourselve. You will have to restart the computer each time you change something in order to initialise the memory of the card! Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "on" Screen "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection - duplicate and edit the monitor sections. Once you edited the file, you have to: - make sure (!!) your CRT screen can handle the frequencies otherwise you could destroy it - switch to init 3 mode - make a copy of your current Xorg.config file, otherwise you will hate yourselve - swap the X config file in the /etc/X11 directory with the new file: it makes a difference (and the card has a memory) to which port the CRT is connected - restart computer - switch to init 5 mode - use Sax to finetune your settings. Good luck, it takes a bit of playing around with Sax, Jeroen.
