OK I see, so I take it "DVI1" represents your second screen. One
factor I'd forgotten - I've only ever been using VGA to connect my
external screens, not DVI. Anyone else done DVI? Does it need any
special modules for example?
Just curious, which macbook are you using?
You can tell by giving us the output of:
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
MacBookPro5,2
As far as I understand Apple, they love to change specs every day, and
in this case your graphic card might need a specific tweak to get it
working with an external display
I don't think that is a Apple issues, the last time (2/3 months ago) I
have used ubuntu (perhaps 8.10, certainly not the last 9.10) it
recognize perfectly in the same computer the same second monitor.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
might be a good place to find out about those tweaks.
thank you, I want to investigate more...
OK, I am prety shre that the problem of second screen is Nvidia Driver
related.
I have booted ubuntu (8.10) from CD and in the "hardware driver" menu I
have enabled the proprietary Nvidia driver.
After I have relogged in and trough Nvidia driver setting I have
configured perfectly the second screen.
Now I must understand how to do the same thing in puredyne, the problem
is that in puredyne Hardware menu does not appear the Nvidia entry.
Maybe in my specific case I must insall Ubuntu 9.10 on hard disk,
configure the nvidia drives and then install puredyne via repository.
Unless someone can confirm me that the puredyne live DVD come with the
proprietary nvidia driver.
In this case I must understand only how to enable them.
thanks for any help.
