Hi Filippo, Guido:
After Filippo post about using an external monitor with the nv driver
and xorg I've tried with an Apple cinema display 20".
Modified my xorg.conf as Filippo suggested...I got a corrupted graphic
display in the 'internal' monitor of the laptop (I expected it)...but no
output on the cinema-display external monitor.
I booted the machine with the minidvi-to-dvi adaptor plugged...the led
of the external monitor flashed several times when X was starting but in
the end it remained black and the led stayed off.
The only difference I can think of is tha Filippo mentioned the
minidvi-to-vga adaptor instead of the minidvi-to-dvi that I've used with
this monitor.
Anyone knows if this kind of monitors (Apple cinema-display) work with
xorg and the nv driver?
Thanks for your help
A. Corbi
