Dual head in fedora 3

jaygee02 · 08-16-2005, 04:37 PM

Hi, this may have been asked already, but what's with the dual head system in fedora 3? If you enable it in system-config-display, you then can't click ok. I looked on bugzilla and downloaded a patch, which proceeded to lock up my system until I changed all the settings back. I've tried fiddling around with the xorg.conf settings, and even managed to get it going for a while, but something happened and I lost it again. Is there no easy way to do this? Btw I have an fx5600xt.

I just got this working with Nvidia driver version 8178 on a 6600GT. By default it only had one display enabled, but I set it up for dual independent displays using the following nvidia-xconfig syntax: "nvidia-xconfig --separate-x-screens"

This is the first time I did not need to manually configure xorg.conf...ever, so it looks like Nvidia is finally paying attention to Linux users and making things easier on us!
