You seem lost, so I'll attempt to help though nothing I'm about to say obviously does... I just upgraded my main system from fc5 to fc6. I have an nvidia BFG something or other, with one vga and one dvi port. I was connected to two monitors, one big CRT via VGA and one small LCD via VGA. One of the VGAs via an adapter to the DVI port. So I clearly have an fc6 system, an nvidia card, and an LCD with only a VGA interface. Thus my reply. I'm actually in flux, and am giving away the CRT. I had been in fc5 with the nvidia drivers and using RandR for multihead, which I got to work after some pains. Now, I am just using the LCD-VGA, and haven't yet installed the nvidia driver (using nv). I did notice, that my CRT which is still connected displays text garbage. And I think I did have to manually add a monitor section to my xorg.conf. Anyway, if there is a specific question or experiment you would like me to try, let me know. Good luck... -dmc --- Paulo Cavalcanti <promac@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I have already posted this message at the user list and received no > answer. > If someone could say if he (or she) is using an LCD via a vga port, > it would be a beginning. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > I am having problems connecting an LCD to a nvidia card > using a VGA port in FC6.
