Multimonitors is broken on my Ubuntu: I have an 8800GT with two DVI heads: 1x DVI with convertor to anlogue Dell 17" [EMAIL PROTECTED] LCD 1x DVI to 22" AOC 1600x1050 LCD
I know how to configure xorg.conf to make multimonitors beautiful ( 4x 22" CRTS at 100Hz with 3d and video overlay was my masterpiece) but the latest Ubuntus seem to make that a non option. Is there anyway to get xorg.conf configurability back or are my hands tied forever? (sans rewriting all the stuff that Ubuntu makes easy of course) I've tried various configurations, and end up with one of the following problems: * I can't position the monitors the right way round. I want the 17" on the left and the 22" on the right. I have to live with it the other way around, or suffer one of the following problems: * resolution is correct on 22" but only the top left 1280x1024 area of the 1600x1050 display is available for use, I can't move the mouse to the rest of the screen and when I maximise Windows they only fill a 1280x1024 area. * Everything works correctly except the 22" flickers off occasionally. Checked all cables, works fine in Windows. I've tried swapping the monitor connectors, but to no avail. I like Ubuntu, so my next step is putting in another VGA card. If that fails and there is no way to get xorg config back or something similar then I will try another distro. This is not my favourite option as I don't really want to add another stack of things to my learning list. Works fine under Win XP (apart from XP being a complete PITA in every other way of course). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
