Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

Hi,

I'm using a nvidia geforce fx 5200 card that has vga out, dvi out, and svideo out. I have one crt hooked into the vga, the main monitor, and I have a dvi to vga converter, to enable a second vga, crt monitor. When I try to use the nvidia-settings, and enable twinview,  and I get this message:

"failed to set metamode (1) 'CRT00: nvidia-auto-select @1024x768 + 1024+0, DFP-0: 1024x768 @1024x768 +0+0' (Mode 2048x768, id: 50) on X screen 0."

any ideas? thanks.

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

Could you go ahead and post your xorg.conf file? It'll be easier to troubleshoot if we can see all of the details.

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

is it because i'm using a dvi to vga connector, is this not an option?

That'll definitely kill quality, but it shouldn't care. Unfortunately, I'm at home right now so I don't have access to my good dual monitor config. I can check that for you in the morning if nobody else gets to this post first. In the meantime, have you tried setting up xorg with nvidia-settings?

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

well, i tried to do it in nvidia-settings. it saved it on my xorg.conf, and now i can't get access to anything to change it, only the vga monitor is on, once it tries to load X i get a blinking cursor that's all...what now?

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

nvidia-settings is usually pretty good. I'll get you my config in the morning and you can compare. Mine's a newer card, but the config should be almost identical.

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

Had same card, same setup, same error.  Just had to change monitor settings individually or something...

Working xorg.conf on that card with twinview and composting enabled:  (1360x768 main with 1024x768 on right)

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

Hm, Not working, just display on the true vga monitor. Are you using a dvi to vga connector as well? Heres my log output, I couldn't make too much of it, I tried to switch the CRT-1 to DFP-0 which didn't seem to do the trick either.

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

Yes, am using a dvi to vga adapter.   

Try changing the 1024x768_85 +1024+0 to 1024x768 + 1024+0

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

This, this and this helped me out a lot when setting up TwinView on my PC. It is kind of confusing. I looked at Xorg.0.log to see what it was naming my displays (CRT, DFP, etc.).

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

@xaviax,

that didn't change anything...my xorg.log tells me that twinview is requested, but only 1 display device is found. at the connected display devices it has the CRT-0 and DFP-0, the monitor coming up as DFP-0, is a standard CRT connected through the dvi-vga. is this similar to your setup, does it recognize the dvi-vga connected monitor as a dfp?

No, both are recognized as crt's here.

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

I have an LCD running off straight DVI that's detected as DFP-0, and an LCD running off of DVI-to-VGA that's detected as CRT-1.

Re: Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

hm, this is weird. i'm running an envision eft7x0 and a dell d1025htx. both which are crt, vga, old fashioned. if i have the dell in the vga port, and envision in the dvi-vga connected port, it only picks up the dell, as crt-0.
if i switch the two, it picks up both, envision as CRT-0, and the dell as dfp-0..hm. any ideas?
