The key components were: * Proprietary NVidia driver with TwinView enabled * Specifying the PCI ID manually in my xorg.conf What I lack is the ability to merge together the Dual-screen config on one card with the single screen on the other - so in actual fact I have 2 Xorg "Displays" and am unable to move windows from one to the other. That's not a big deal - you just end up adapting your workflow and keeping discrete apps on that one screen. If I enable Xinerama, Gnome crashes pretty hard on login. I have included my Xorg.conf below to give you some starting point. If you get Xinerama working, I'll be very interested. -- Sam -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 260.19.29 (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Thu Dec 16 04:52:07 EST 2010 # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 260.19.29 (mockbuild@) Thu Dec 16 05:03:59 EST 2010 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" Option "Xinerama" "0" EndSection Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from data in "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "LG L1953S" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "LG L1919S" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "Quadro NVS 55/280 PCI" BusID "PCI:3:2:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device1" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "Quadro NVS 285" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "1" Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0" Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +1280+0, CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Device1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "0" Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
