What happens if you want to set the framebuffer size to the size of your two monitors combined? 1280x1024+1280x1024 would be: xrandr --fb 2560x1024 Afterwards xrandr should say "current 2560x1024" somewhere at the beginning of it's output. I assume your two monitors work in clone, so i i'm wondering if it's the framebuffer allocation that causes the problem. -- Far away from the primal instinct, the song seems to fade away, the river get wider between your thoughts and the things we do and say. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
