Nvidia Twin View - Unable to set the second Monitor Resolution

Hallo.

I have two similar LCD Monitors (Asus VW222U - DVI and Asus VW222S - VGA). I want to use a twinview resolution of (2*1680)x1050 but i'm unable to do so. The primary Display (be it the DVI or VGA connected monitor) is correctly set 1680x1050, but the second is unable to go over the (square) resolution of 1024x768.

I tryed to configure them using nvidia control without success.
I've also tryed to configure them using nano and writing the appropriate settings on my Xorg.conf

I'm using

Nvidia Driver: 185.18.14
Xorg: 1.6.2 (10602000)
Nv Control: 1.18

Here is my actual xorg.conf:

Please note that i tryed to configure xorg manually overriding the "Screen" section.
In the "Option "metamodes" "CRT: nvidia-auto-select +1680+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"" line i tryed overriding the nvidia-auto-select resolution parameter using:
Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1680x1050 +1680+0, DFP: 1680x1050 +0+0"", without success...

Thanks to anyone smile

Re: Nvidia Twin View - Unable to set the second Monitor Resolution

I either use nvidia-settings as root and save the configuration or as a normal user then copy and paste.
It is very straighforward that way.

Sometimes the settings can't be changed until after an X restart so you need to save into xorg.conf.

Re: Nvidia Twin View - Unable to set the second Monitor Resolution

thanks thillub for your answer.

I already did it as root (you cand modify xorg.conf as normal user). but xorg (even after a restart and a full pc restart) ignored my settings...

Thanks again

Re: Nvidia Twin View - Unable to set the second Monitor Resolution

I have an old xorg.conf from 2007 that might be useful, but it might also be outdated. I spent some time reading the documentation to get it just right back then, so I'm hoping it still works.
