Hi,
I'm running a two monitor twinview setup in Xorg (ubuntu 7.04).
Works great except that when I start X for the first time it always
defaults to the wrong metamode when I log into gnome - with one of the
monitors switched off.
I can load nvidia-settings and select the correct metamode which
activates both monitors but I can't figure out how to make this metamode
the default in gnome.
When X starts, the login screen uses the correct metamode and activates
both monitors, but as soon as I log into gnome, it deactivates the
second monitor.
I have 3 metamodes - the first with both monitors active. The second and
third metamodes have each monitor active, but not both.
The two monitors are a Samsung flat panel and a Philips CRT.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
