20051225 double vision

From s5h.net

Santa left a nice 19″ tft under the tree pour moi, I’m now seeing double. From experience of my Dell Inspiron 5100 (radeon) getting xinerama to work was a nightmare, the radeon chip is not very good for this. However, to much of my surprise Nvidia have really gone an extra mile in making TwinView work really well. Rather than putting config into the ServerLayout, Monitor, Screen and Driver subsections, all the config just goes in Driver. So the only settings required, for my, regular settings are as follows:

     Section "Device"
       Identifier  "geforce1"
       Driver      "nvidia"
       Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
       Option      "backingstore" "true"
       Option      "NoLogo" "true"
       Option      "TwinView" "true"
       Option      "ConnectedMonitor" "TFT, TFT"
       Option      "TwinViewOrientation" "DFP-0 LeftOf CRT-0
       Option      "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
       VideoRam    2661120
       Option      "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024"
     EndSection
