2 screens, need same resolution (TwinView)
After searching and fighting, I finally got twinview to work on my nVidia dual head card. Now I can roll my windows between both screens. The problem thats got me stumped is; I can't change the resolution on my second monitor. I want it to be the same as first monitor (1024x768) but its stuck on a larger mode (1280x960) and I cant read text on it. I've also noticed that on monitor 1 the mouse rolls down to the bottom of the screen then dissapers, as if there was the extra space of the 960 that I can't see. I just want both monitors to run at 1024x768. Here is that section of my Xorg.conf file:
Code:
Section "Monitor" Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1280x960,1280x1024" then the twinview doesn't work at all. I tried making it just say: Option "MetaModes" "1024x768" |
edit: in X's desktop config, it says my screen size is 2304x960 and there are no other options in the drop-down.
p.s. could someone plz tell me how to auto enable numlock???? (yes, my bios is set for it already) |
To make metamodes work with twinview you specify both resolutions separated by a comma, and then separate modes by a semicolon. What should work for you is this:
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768" |
A quick google about your numlock problem brings up:

I find numlockx quite good and it's a simple install
