Duel Monitors

token2004 · 04-07-2005, 08:40 PM

I have a FX 5200 card with a VGA and a round port with an adapter for my TV. ( sorry i forget what the name of it is)..

Anyway I have duel monitors working in windows - I want a clone.

The only thing I know about this is - I need to edit the xorg.conf file and that I know its possible... any help?

On my Fedora Core 3 system, I simply downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia, ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html ) then ran /usr/bin/system-config-display ( which can also be found in the apps menu on the panel under "System Settings - Display" ) & there was a "Dual Head" tab, changed the settings & restarted X.

Hope this helped

Now it works when X isn't running but as soon as it starts the TV turns off

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I'm a busy boy... Anyway, your obviously not running Fedora, what system are you running? (This is usually a good bit of info to add to your initial question, all system are different)

Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
