dual monitor problem
Hello,
I have two monitors on two video cards. The first monitor works perfectly, but the second monitor seems to be 'stuck' at 640x480. The xorg.conf has the same resolution set for both monitors (1280x1024)... But it still come up as 640x480!
What could I be doing wrong?
Thank You!

Do you have the proper refresh rates set for the second monitor? If set too low then X will go to a lower resolution also looking into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log should show you how the monitors/screens are being detected by X.

Well, they are both using the exact same monitor with the exact same monitor settings...
I'm seeing "(II) TDFX(1): Not using mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range)" on the second card that's displaing at the bad resolution.
Does this config seem ok? TIA

Try using 16 bit for the second monitor the tdfx driver does not like 24 bit. Also is this your monitor if so if these are the correct refresh rates then you might want to put them in the monitor section and if you want post the log file I mentioned so we can look at how everything gets detected you will have to split it into two posts it is rather big.

Thanks. That is my monitor.. but those values gave me "sync out of range".
I'm wondering why I'm seeing this...
(WW) TDFX: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:8:0) found
(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.
(II) UnloadModule: "tdfx"
Even though I have it in the config as:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard1"
Driver "tdfx"
VendorName "Videocard Vendor"
BoardName "3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3"
BusID "PCI:0:8:0"
Screen 1

Ok try without the refresh rates then and can you post the X config file and log so we can see what it is doing.
