I am setting up a new OpenSUSE system. I'm trying to get my displays working, but am having zero luck.

My video card is an nVidia geforce 7100 gs (NV44). It has d-sub and dvi. I have two MultiSync LCD2070vx monitors. I've gotten this working before but on a different computer and an ATI card.

Currently, if I go into SaX, it doesn't recognize the monitors (the MultiSync 2070 driver isn't in the list of monitors), it doesn't give me a dual-head option, and it doesn't recognize the native resolution of the monitors (1600x1200).

Help!

Check the software you have installed. Make certain that you have the nvidia driver installed. Then try a couple of nvidia utilities that come as part of the driver package.

/usr/bin/nvidia-settings
/usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig

After that, if you still don't have dual-head working, you still have SaX2 to work with.

Thanks for the suggestion. Turned out I had installed the wrong nvidia driver, as YAST gave me no indication of which of the two I should choose.

The irony is, ATI is supposed to be worse for Linux than nVidia, but I've done this setup using an ATI card with no problems multiple times :P

Anyway, solved now. Thanks.
