You mentioned xrandr... Last I knew it didn't do much. It must be the missing link. If it's required to configure the display it needs to be integrated with system-config-display though.
Thanks. -- Chris Kloiber On 05/17/2010 02:20 AM, Peter Robinson wrote:

The result was not pretty. I could get one and only one screen up, and not at the 1920x1080 the primary HD display is capable of (connnected via VGA, not HDMI) I could not find any way of adding the second head with system-config-display as there is no "second" video adapter available. I have not found any HOWTO for enabling the second head. Pointers welcome, thank you.I use a dual display with my nouveau based laptop + DVI and it just worked. The two panels are 1440x900 and 1680x1050. You should be able to use the display option from the main menu or alternatively what does running xrandr return from the command line? It should return the two screens, what they're capable of running, and what they are running at. You should be able to do something along the lines of 'xrandr --screen VGA-1 --auto --right-of VGA-0' to enable it. When you removed the binary driver did you also remoove any of the xorg.conf and binary kernel modules. The nouveau shouldn't need any xorg.conf so that might be causing issues if the other driver had one. Peter
