Resolution on dual head in 12.1 problem


Slackware always seems to have a release right around the time I'm bring in new equipment. I had an older Slack12 AMD box running dual head with two graphics cards, both NVIDIA, a GeForce4 Ti 4400 (AGP) and a GeForce FX 5200 (PCI) with two identical 19" Acer AL1914 monitors running Xinerama at 1280x1024. When slack 12.1 hit the streets I replace this box with a diffrent machine that had a GeForce 7800GT (PCI-e). The 7800 has two DVI outputs which I have analog adapters on to plug into the monitors which accept D-Sub only. This new box is dual boot, and XP will run both monitors at 1280x1024 just fine. I can't seem to get X configured right in order to do this in Slack. I've been tinkering with this for a couple of weeks and tried several things I learned from search engines. Perhaps I'm just missing something simple? (that's usually the case)

Here is my current xorg.conf

So clearly X doesn't think 1280x1024 is a valid mode, however the hardware is capable of this. Any suggestions?

I know nothing about dual monitor setups, so the help I can offer is limited. However, it is possible that you need a custom Modeline to achieve that resolution. You can generate one using the `cvt` command, specifying the horizontal and vertical resolution, and optionally, the refresh rate (the default is 60 kHz). The following Modeline *should* work:
Code:
$ cvt 1280 1024 60
# 1280x1024 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.31M4) hsync: 63.67 kHz; pclk: 109.00 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
Add that Modeline line to each of your "Monitor" sections, change the "1280x1024" entries in each "Modes" line in your "Screen" section to "1280x1024_60.00" and see if that works. It should be noted that some people report difficult with using a default Modeline name like '1280x1024_60.00'. Such a name works fine for me, but you could change it to 1280x1024_custom or something if the unmodified name doesn't work (you would need to change the name in both Monitor sections AND in the "Screen" section).
