I have a PC with an Nvidia Quadro Card in it and it is running CentOS 4.0(all current). I want to set up dual monitors but when I go into the display gui to set it up, X reloads and an error comes up and says it cant load X using this config.
This is the only video card in the system and I am trying to hook up two identical ViewSonic VG800 monitors. Single monitor works fine but when try to add second, it fails to load X.
Any thoughts?
Dear All,
I use an Athlon64 Widescreen Notebook, running Centos x86-64.
The notebook has a native resolution of 1280x800, but the Xconfigurator does not offer this resolution.
The graphics processor is a Radeon 9700 mobility
Any help, greatfully appreciated
Regards
Pete

Use the gtf command-line tool and put the results in the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Thanks that worked a treat!

In trying to do something with my screen res, I found the xorg.conf file to be the answer. I just added the resolutions that I wanted and once I restarted the xserver, was able to select/scroll through the options with <ctrl><alt> + and <ctrl><alt> -
Hope this help.
Michael.

Use the proprietary nVidia driver.
Thanks that did the trick
