Problem with TwinView

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]


Hi all,
	I am new to this list. I have joined this list to get this problem 
solved which is buggin me from three days. I have NVIDIA FX5600 card with 
dual monitor support, I want to use them in TwinView mode(If i understand 
correctly, Actually All i want it that the same screen should span in two 
monitors, so that i can drag a window between the two screens or even 
expand it to cover both the monitors simultaneously)

I have installed the latest driver from NVIDIA site, I am able to get the 
two monitors starting at the same time but the two screen are totaly 
independent that is I am not able to move windows from one Monitor to 
another, I am attaching and pasting my XF86Config file please help me know 
how to get this working.

Also if I run the startx as "startx -- -layout AGPTwinView" I get to see 
that the one screen only has expanded in the size but the second monitor 
is not being used(It goes of by the time the active monitor starts),

If it helps I will send the output of lspci also.
