Hi
I have a setup which I've just upgraded to Fedora 13 with Xorg server
1.8.0. The setup has a Quadro FX 3400 card with an IBM T221 3840 x
2400 monitor.
Under previous iterations of xorg i've output to the monitor as a
dualhead setup using 1920x2400 + 1920x2400 and it's worked pretty
well.
However under the new version of Fedora the xorg.conf file now gets
re-generated every reboot using udev to detect devices if I've
understood the docs properly.
Unfortunately the display is getting detected as a 3840x2400 screen
and is being output to at the wrong refresh rate, 50 hz rather then 25
hz, at least according to xrandr -q, and as a result the screen is
blank. The xorg session is running however as I can vnc into it and
it's running fine. I am using the nvidia driver from rpmfusion.
Given that xorg.conf is re-written every reboot how can I add both a
modeline and dualhead type config so that it 'sticks' after a reboot?
Thanks in advance.
As a follow up to my earlier mail I've found that you can now put the
xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and it will get read from there so
that's solved that problem.
My new problem is slightly different in that as the display is treated
as two screens how do I get the screen background and panels to spread
across as a single screen?
i.e. at the moment my desktop background is shown as two identical
images one on each screen, what I want is one background image spread
across both screens. Also any panels are limited to one screen rather
then being spread across both screens.
I know ATI had a concept called 'Big Desktop' for these situations but
I could never get it working, does anyone have any ideas or
workarounds to get it working now with an NVidia card?
Thanks in advance.

look for a "twinview" setting in your nvidia-settings panel, if having
trouble finding the nvidia-settings via the GUI just open a terminal and
type "gksudo nvidia-settings" and you are operating a better instance
than you get from the menus in the (gtk) GUI anyway, at least after
re-entering your password (provided you are member of wheel).
(in GUI should be "System->Administration->NVIDIA X Server Settings", in
there should be "X Server Display Configuration", look for button
"Configure..." to right hand side - this gives you a situation where the
picture you are saving by pressing enter after pressing 'printscrn' is
the full width of both displays sum width.)
twinview is the closest I have seen to what you are asking for, is it
available to you?
