Hello Mark, all.
I've just gotten twinview set up on my GeForce 4 Ti4600 board (VisionTek).
I've got a 1600x1200 CRT to the left and a 1200x1024 FP to the right.
I've got two metamodes defined (for now):
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "NVIDIA GeForce4"
Monitor "Panasonic|Panasonic S21"
Option "TwinView" "On"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31-68"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60-76"
Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200, 1280x1024 @1280x1200; 1600x1200,
null"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "rightof"
<snip>
EndSection
Questions:
1: Do I need to do anything special to enable the xinerama extension
mentioned in the Nvidia Readme? I ask because KDE seems
to like to put windows up right across the boundary between the
two monitors and the Readme indicates that the xinerama extension
should prevent this. What am I missing.
2: When I change modes to the 2nd mode KDE keeps the virtual desktop
size of the first metamode. The FP shuts off alright but
the CRT has a 2800x1200 virtual desktop. How can I make the
virtual desktop snap to the CRT resolution when in the second mode?
I note that, again, the Nvidia Readme seems to indicate (in the FAQ
section) that the xinerama extension in conjunction with the
XF86VidMode extension should take care of letting the window
manager know there's been a mode change.
3: This XF86Config file I've cobbled together comes from
an older single-head one. So following the stuff above there's
all the "Display" subsections I had before. Is this now cruft that
I can remove? What about DefaultColorDepth?
Thanks.
Dean
