Hello,<br><br>I have set up a dual monitor system by adding an ADD2 SVDO extension on the PCIx16 slot of my motherboard.<br><br>My setup is :<br>DG965SS with G965 onboard GPU<br><tt>DVI ADD2 Adapter Card<br>Two Samsung SyncMaster 22" LCD screens (one 225BW and one 226BW), native res 1680x1050 each.<br>OS is Unbuntu Studio updated to gutsy, which means <br>Xorg 1.3.0 (or 7.2, I don't really get the versioning scheme)<br>Xorg Intel video driver 2.1.0<br><br>I wanted to have a xinerama (or nvidia twinview) like setup with a screen on the left and one on the right.<br><br>When I boot, I get a twins (one screen clone of the other), which I don't really care about.<br>When I start X, the clone mode is still there, but I put a xrandr statement in my KDE autostart area, namely :<br><br>/usr/bin/xrandr --output TMDS-1 --right-of VGA<br><br>This worked very nicely after I set the Virtual size in xorg.conf as being 3360x1050.<br><br>So far so good. But I am a bit puzzled when it
comes to the sharpness of the extension screen. It looks blurry, I can read stuff no problem, but it is at a level on the edge of discomfort. The first screen, which get the VGA output of the onboard GPU is very sharp. I expected the same from the DVI extension for the second screen. Is it a limitation of the xorg intel driver ? Here is the output of xrandr :<br><br><br> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3360 x 1050, maximum 3360 x 1050<br>VGA connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 474mm x 296mm<br> 1680x1050 60.0*+ 59.9<br> 1680x1050_60.00 60.0<br> 1280x1024 75.0 59.9<br> 1280x960 59.9<br> 1280x800_75.00 75.0<br> 1280x800_60.00 60.0<br> 1152x864
