Hello again,

I've done some playing around with TwinView in an effort to get my GF4 to display on both the TV and monitor at the same time. Although I've been able to get it configured as such, I've only been able to get the TV to stay at 800x600 resolution by keeping the monitor at 800x600 also. I'd really like the monitor to get to 1024x768 (at least), but whenever I make changes to the xorg.conf file to do this, the TV screen gets larger as well, effectively only allowing me to see a portion of the screen on the TV.

I understood the syntax to be:

Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600" where "number, number" is equal to monitor 1, monitor 2.

I would assume this would allow me to do something more like this:

Option      "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600" "800x600, 1024x768"




I *believe* both modes have to match, so if you want 1024x768 you must use "1024x768, 1024x768" hence the term "Clone".


In section device I believe you would need:

Option "MetaModes" "640x480,640x480" "800x600, 800x600" "1024x768, 1024x768"

That way your Section "Screen" Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" would match.

It has been awhile since I have used TwinView



But that doesn't appear to be the case. Could someone look at my attached xorg.conf and let me know their thoughts?

Thanks again,

o411, the linux newbie.
