Hi,
I really need someone to take a look at my xorg.conf and tell me what is going wrong becuase I have tried lots of different configurations, from as many faqs/howtos as I could find, but I'm still nowhere near dual screen.
in it's current state:
thanks for any help.
Edit::
Nevermind. Changing 'nv' to 'nvidia' seems to have done the trick \o/
I really need someone to take a look at my xorg.conf and tell me what is going wrong becuase I have tried lots of different configurations, from as many faqs/howtos as I could find, but I'm still nowhere near dual screen.
in it's current state:
Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
