I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with a NVIDIA NV41 GEForce 6800 pci card.
When I boot, both terminals display the initial mint logo display.
After that, the 2nd monitor connected to the VGA port goes on standby and goes dark. When I go into system settings/display, it shows both monitors. What needs to be fixed, loaded, updated? Thanks in advance.
2nd monitor is still on power savings setting. When I try to modify the settings in Display to the desired xrandr settings 1280 by 1024, Mint Display sends me a message. Failed to apply configuration
GDBus.Errorrg.gtkGDBus.Unmapped GError. Quark_gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquarkCode 3:
required virtural size does not fit available size: requested + (5163,2560), minimum+(320,200), max =(4096,4096).
I also noticed that when I first open Display, the 2nd monitor does not show the resolution settings. I have to switch on Primary settings to get the resolution settings to display. I then try to apply the settings and I get the above notice.
