Ubuntu Nvidia Xorg Twinview doesnt like my monitors
- by Andrew Bolster
Basically, using the latest available ubuntu drivers (195.36.15) I cannot for the life of me get my two monitors to operate at suitable resolutions.
When not using the drivers atall and going single-screen, both monitors support 1680x1050, but this option is only shown for one monitor in nvidia-settings, and when i manually add a metamode into the xorg.conf, it just gives up initialising the second screen.
(**) Mar 25 15:49:47 NVIDIA(0): TwinView enabled
(II) Mar 25 15:49:47 NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Devices: CRT-0, CRT-1
(II) Mar 25 15:49:47 NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) Mar 25 15:49:47 NVIDIA(0): "1680x1050,1680x1050"
(II) Mar 25 15:49:47 NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1680 x 1050
Any ideas?
