I have a small Acer desktop with two video connectors. The onboard chip is an Nvidia GF7100 with a VGA connector. The addin PCIe board has an Nvidia G100 with an HDMI connector. I have identical monitors attached to both connectors. The Windows which came with the box has no trouble automatically recognizing and using both monitors. Of course, that is of no interest to me except to verify the hardware is working and connected properly. I want both monitors to work with Fedora 11. My installation has Gnome, KDE, and XFce4. None of them seem to recognize that the box even has a second video interface. The monitor they use is the one attached to the addin board but the one that system-config-display reports under "hardware"/"video card" is the GF7100. Selecting "use dual head" and then "second video card" shows only "====". lshw reports both video adapters. It shows GF7100 for the onboard chip but only shows the PCI numbers for the G100, not the name. I have tried manual editing of xorg.conf. Now system-config-display says it is running in dual head mode but still doesn't show a second display adapter. And the second display is still dark. I have selected the nvidia driver for the GF7100 but vesa for the G100. The nvidia driver doesn't seem to recognize the G100 and X refuses to start if I try to use it. Can anyone tell me the secret incantation I need to get this working? -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA "The cost of silicon chips has been dave@xxxxxxxxxxx, +1 714 434 7359 steady at about $1bn per acre for dhclose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 40 years." --Gordon Moore -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
