Hi List,
I'm stuck how to get a dual head monitor solution to work with Nouveau,
running openSUSE 13.1 on my hp8710w mobile workstation equipped with a
Nvidia graphical card. Beyond the built-in WUXGA display, an external
WQHD monitor is connected to the HDMI port on the graphical card and/or
to the dual link DVI-D on a hp docking station.
To compare with SLED11/Nvidia driver running in dualboot with openSUSE
13.1/Nouveau on the same workstation, the external monitor works up to
1920x1080 over HDMI and at 2560x1440 resolution over the docking dual
link DVI-D.
Here follows the query output using openSUSE 13.1/Nouveau/xrandr:
# lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G92GLM
[Quadro FX 3600M] [10de:061c] (rev a2)

Beyond LVDS for the builtin display, all other graphical ports are
reported as disconnected by xrandr:
# xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192

VGA-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-D-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
I've tried a solution that has been suggested to add output to an
external monitor, but it failed as shown:
# xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 1920x1080
# xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --left-of LVDS-1
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
I would be very thankful to get help here that can solve this confusing
problem.
Terje
