Hello,
I have a DELL D800 laptop with a 1920x1200
display, which works fine.
I'm using XOrg (6.8.2), and I want to connect
an external display (iiyama ProLite H481S), on
my VGA connector.
My video card is a GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x.
I declared twinview in xorg.conf, with (I think)
the needed values, and both screens work fine...
but I get the 'gdm' login on the external screen,
not the internal.
I tryed to permute the order of metamodes, and
it changed nothing.
I tryed to use ConnectedMonitor to force the
order of monitor, but it changed nothing.
And the way the mouse can go from one screen
to another shows that xorg/nvidia considers my
internal screen as the secondary one (the one
that is "RightOf" the other).
Anybody knows a reason for that?
And more important a way to correct that?
Here the "screen" section:
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "NVidia"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "true"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP, CRT"
Option "MetaModes" "DFP: 1920x1200, CRT: 1280x1024"
# Option "MetaModes" "DFP-0: 1920x1200"
# Option "MetaModes" "DFP-0: 1920x1200, CRT-0:
1280x1024;1440x900,1280x1024;960x600,1280x1024;800x600,1280x1024;1920x1200;1280x1024"
Option "NoMergedXinerama" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
(...)
(please note here that using "DFP and CRT" or "CRT and DFP" do not changed
anything).
Thank in advance.
Regards,
