Hi, Thanks for the pointers. You're right I didn't understand what was the difference between my XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files. So now modifing the right file (-4), and installing the vendor drivers made it work. Thanks for the help. For reference to others, let me attach the new config file: # XFree86 4.2.0 configuration generated by Xconfigurator 4.10.7 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "DualHead" Screen "Screen0" #Option "Xinerama" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection # Red Hat Linux 6.0 and later use the xfs font server for improved # interactive performance Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" EndSection # Module loading section Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-buffering Load "GLcore" # OpenGL support Load "dri" # Direct rendering infrastructure Load "glx" # OpenGL X protocol interface Load "extmod" # Misc. required extensions Load "v4l" # Video4Linux # Load "record" # X event recorder # You only need the following two modules if you do not use xfs. # Load "freetype" # TrueType font handler # Load "type1" # Adobe Type 1 font handler EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" # Modified by mouseconfig Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Dell D1626HT" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 31.0-107.0 VertRefresh 50.0-160.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)" Driver "nvidia" BoardName "Unknown" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Linux Frame Buffer" Driver "fbdev" BoardName "Unknown" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS (generic)" Monitor "Dell D1626HT" Option "TwinView" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "28-65" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "48-65" Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024X768" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" Option "ConnectdMonitor" "CRT, CRT" Option "NoLogo" DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection On Thu, 28 Aug 2003, Mark Vojkovich wrote: > First off, that's an XFree86 3.x config file.
