Hi All;
I've had several issues with my new laptop & Fedora 10 per the nvidia video
card so I eventually ended up with a config where I've removed kmod-nvidia (I
had tried the driver from the nvidia site as well) and I have an xorg.conf file
that specifies a 'vesa' driver.
This allows me to have true 1920x1200 resolution but I cannot get dual
monitors to work - I cannot even plug in an external monitor and toggle
to/from it as the only display via Fn-F8 (this has worked with past laptops
running KDE 3.x)
So, my question is, how do I go about setting up dual monitors ? Does this
require that I go back to the kmod-nvidia driver or can I pull it off via the
current 'vesa' driver?
Note that if I dont have an xorg.conf file then I get a config where the system
reports that it's running at 1920x1200 but in reality it's more like 1280x800.
This was the main issue with the kmod-nvidia driver back in December before I
removed it.
an lspci shows this:
lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 061e (rev a2)
and my xorg.conf file looks like this:
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
