Tripple Head Setup
 
I'm trying to setup tripple head on an HP workstation XW8000 with Nivida Quadro 4 vid card. I can get it up with three monitors but can't seem to get it to stay on 1280x1024?? Its keeps changing to 1028x768?? This is all being done in Redhat.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

Something that you can try.

You might try to set the video for less depth (bits per pixle).
See if they will run your resolution at 16 bpp.

Good luck
