Has anyone ever successfully set up dual monitors using the open source nv driver in X.org?
I'd like to switch my desktop at work from the 32-bit to the 64-bit FreeBSD, to take advantage of some extra RAM I have available, but there is no NVidia binary driver for 64-bit FreeBSD, and the open source nv driver is not cooperating. Below are the important bits of a working xorg.conf using the 32-bit NVidia driver. Unfortunately, just switching "nvidia" to "nv" doesn't work, and while adding 'Option "DualHead" "True"' to Card0 and eliminating Card1 does allow both monitors to work, it spreads a single 1600x1200 desktop across the two, and ignores any "RightOf" or "LeftOf" setting describing which monitor goes where. Any suggestions would be appreciated :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Configured for Xinerama" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" Option "Xinerama" "on" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BusID "PCI:3:0:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card1" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" Screen 1 BusID "PCI:3:0:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Dell" ModelName "Dell 2007FP" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Dell" ModelName "Dell 2007FP" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultColorDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Card1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultColorDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
