[Solved] Nvidia -> output on wrong screen

Brute · 2006-12-14 13:42:17

I have updated my Nvidia driver to the last release and now X doesn't want to set display on my laptop scren. It works with an external screen but it's not very practical.

What is the way to tell X the screen i want to activate (i. e the laptop one) ?

thanks,

What is your kernel/nvidia-driver version ?

Brute · 2006-12-18 11:09:32

kernel 2.6.19.1-1 & nvidia 1.0.9631-1

Maybe

    Option    "UseDisplayDevice"    "CRT-1"

in your nvidia device section? (Replace CRT-1 with what you want)

For my laptop, I have the following:

Option "TwinView"
Option "ConnectedMonitors" "DFP-0, CRT-0"
Option "MetaModes" "DFP-0: 1920x1200, CRT-0: NULL"

Where CRT-0 is the external monitor and DFP-0 is the laptops internal monitor.

I tried to set up dual screen without success... thanks

Okay, solved...

I put the option

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"

in my video card section and it worked. It may help somebody
