I followed the instructions below to get a dualhead
nvidia card running multiple resolutions on my RH-EL
system (X-6.8.2, nvidia 76.76 drivers)
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8174/README/64bit_html/appendix-p.html
Things work fine when both are plugged to the card.
But if the second monitor is unplugged, I don't get
the first device's display, instead i *always and
only* get the second devices display.
But the Login prompts appear on device 1 which I never
get to see if only 1 monitor is plugged, rendering
things unusable.
How do I fix it so that no matter which monitor is
plugged into which slot, If only one monitor is
connected, the first Device is ALWAYS shown ?
Thanks in advance..
