Re: Problem with TwinView

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



   You are not running TwinView.  You are using separate X screens
(ie. you have two device sections).  You need to read NVIDIA's
"README":

   ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-5336/README

specifically, Appendix I.
