Re: nVidia TwinView Dual Head problem (Rev 2)
Doug, I edited '/root/xorg.conf' per your suggestion (see attached). No change. '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' appears the same. It looks like the card sees Monitor1, because when I do anything on the KDE desktop on Monitor0 I can see changes in the color bands on Monitor1 (still a clone, although an inperfect one). Any other suggestions? Thanks, Richard Ehrlich Doug Poland wrote: On Fri, July 28, 2006 01:42, Richard Ehrlich wrote: I am running freeBSD 6.1. I just installed an nVidia GeForce FX5200 PCI card.

The log indicates that only Monitor0 is recognized, but my understanding of TwinView is that's the way it's supposed to be. Does anyone have experience with the nVidia GeForce FX5200 PCI card who can advise me what I may be doing wrong? Here's a working XF86Config file for my nVidia cards. The card type is inconsequential, it works on both my TI4200 and FX5700. In my case I have identical Dell D1226H monitors.
