Hello. > We have an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 graphics adapter.
We use NVIDIA Quadro NVS 400 / 440 for quad-view setups: I'm not sure that NVS290 can do this ? (according to: http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadronvs.html: NVS440 - Max Displays/Board = 4 NVS290 - Max Displays/Board = 2 ...) > We have installed the kernel-module-nvidia package, so we have some kind > of driver, but maybe not the best one. We use 96.43.01 nvidia driver at present (but 87 series worked too, with slightly different xorg configs, with "UseDisplayDevice" option AFAIR ..). > So far, we haven't even succeeded in configuring a dual head display. Frankly saying I never got too much luck with nvidia's own config tool , therefore I always did it manually ;-); You may need to change the following: - BusID lines in Device sections (you may see these on your system using /sbin/lspci) - ConnectedMonitor in Device sections (ie if you use DVI connected LCDs that would be "DFP,DFP" rather than "CRT,CRT") The config we use for 4 outputs is as follows: [..] Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" Screen 2 "Screen2" Below "Screen0" Screen 3 "Screen3" RightOf "Screen2" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "on" EndSection [..] Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" EndSubSection Load "fbdevhw" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "freetype" Load "type1" Load "dri" EndSection [..] Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Quadview Input 0" ModelName "Monitor 1400x1050" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0 #Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Quadview Input 1" ModelName "Monitor 1400x1050" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0 #Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor2" VendorName "Quadview Input 2" ModelName "Monitor 1400x1050" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0 #Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor3" VendorName "Quadview Input 3" ModelName "Monitor 1400x1050" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0 #Option "dpms" EndSection [..] Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "HP" BoardName "NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440 (GPU-0/0)" Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" BusID "PCI:3:0:0" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,CRT" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard1" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "HP" BoardName "NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440 (GPU-0/1)" Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" BusID "PCI:3:0:0" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,CRT" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard2" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "HP" BoardName "NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440 (GPU-1/0)" Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" BusID "PCI:4:0:0" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,CRT" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard3" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "HP" BoardName "NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440 (GPU-1/1)" Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" BusID "PCI:4:0:0" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,CRT" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Videocard1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen2" Device "Videocard2" Monitor "Monitor2" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen3" Device "Videocard3" Monitor "Monitor3" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Jarek __ ------------------------------------------------------- _ Jaroslaw_Polok ___________________ CERN - IT/FIO/LA _ _ http://home.cern.ch/~jpolok ___ tel_+41_22_767_1834 _ _____________________________________ +41_78_792_0795 _
